Fondant Potatoes With Garlic (Fondant De Pommes De Terre)

These potatoes are nice enough to serve for company. They are nice looking as well as great tasting. I sprinkled dried rosemary as thats all I had. Loved the garlic flavor!! Thanks for sharing. Made for Football Pool 2012.

What a terrific recipe Mike. We really enjoyed the small yukon gold potatoes, prepared this way. They were quick and easy to make, with wonderful results; great flavor and the texture was perfect, crispy on the outsidde and creamy and tender on the inside. Made exactly as written wouldn't change a thing. Made for the Fearless Red Dragons - ZWT8 - Family Picks Round

Simple, elegant, and delicious. The only thing I did differently was to sprinkle chopped rosemary right onto the potatoes at the beginning. They smelled wonderful while baking, too! I will make these again. Made for ZWT8. YUM

These potatoes are delicious! Make sure your potatoes aren't too big - mine were and I had to cut them in half when I added the broth and rosemary because they weren't getting done. I added about 10 minutes to the cooking time and that worked out great. Loved these -thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for ZWT8, Chefs gone WILD!
