They are perfect cylinders of potato browned very slowly in butter, with stock added repeatedly until they are glazed and full of flavor. Fondant potatoes simultaneously taste of pure potato and of more than potato, and they get very creamy inside.

My fondant potatoes are oven-braised in a buttery, thyme-flavored sauce. The result of this old-school method? Golden brown potatoes with a crispy crust that remain rich and creamy on the insides. Serve this classic French side dish alongside roast chicken, beef, or fish.
