FONDANT POTATOES INGREDIENTS:

8-10 small/medium Yukon gold potatoes (peeled)

½ teaspoon sea salt

¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

2 tablespoons avocado oil

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

3 cloves garlic (peeled)

2 sprigs fresh thyme

1 sprig fresh rosemary

1 cup vegetable broth

Flaky sea salt (for serving)

 

FONDANT POTATOES INSTRUCTIONS:

- Peel the potatoes. Trim the ends so they are flat, then cut each potato in half crosswise. You should now have 10 flat potato rounds. Place the potatoes in a large bowl and cover with cold water and let sit for 30 minutes.

- Preheat the oven to 400°F and arrange the rack in the middle of the oven.

- Drain the potatoes, rinse with cold water, and pat dry with paper towels. Place them in a dry large bowl and season with the kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, and onion powder.

- Add 2 tablespoons of oil to a large cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the potatoes cut-side down in a single layer. Cook until golden brown, about 6 to 7 minutes, flip and cook for 5 more minutes

- Mix the garlic, butter, and 4 sprigs thyme, and 4 sprigs rosemary. Add mixture to potatoes in skillet. Stir and cook until the butter is foaming 2 minutes.

- Add the broth, stir gently.

- Transfer the cast iron skillet to the oven. Bake about 30 to 35 minutes (until potatoes are fork tender).

- Garnish with more fresh thyme and rosemary sprigs before serving, drizzle with the pan juices, and sprinkle parsley on top.
