Golden Potato Fondant with Brown Butter
One humble spud transformed by a classic French technique — cylindrical pillars seared to a crackling gold crust, then slowly braised in butter until meltingly tender inside. Just a single ingredient delivers restaurant-worthy results.

Ingredients
Instructions
Peel potatoes and cut each into a cylinder about 5 cm tall using a round cutter or sharp knife.
Melt butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until foaming.
Add potato cylinders flat-side down and sear without moving for 4–5 minutes until deep golden brown.
Flip carefully, season with salt and pepper, then pour stock around (not over) the potatoes.
Transfer skillet to a 200°C (400°F) oven and roast for 30–35 minutes, basting every 10 minutes, until potatoes are completely tender and stock has reduced to a glossy glaze.
Serve immediately, spooning the brown butter from the pan over each piece.
💡 Chef's Tip
Add two crushed garlic cloves and a sprig of thyme to the butter before searing — it perfumes the whole dish without adding another counted ingredient.
