Fondant Potatoes Recipe- Crusty Potatoes Roasted with Butter and Stock

I love all of Chef John’s recipes, and fondant potatoes is no exception!

This is a great recipe plus is always so much fun to try a new way of cooking potatoes.

The texture this fabulous fondant potato technique provides is unlike anything you get by just roasting!

You’ll never think about potatoes in a same way again after trying this.

The texture it provides for russet is unlike anything else, so dense and rich with just enough crunch from its edges that contrast beautifully against the uniquely creamy inside.

You’ll Need
