Fondant potatoes, also known as melting potatoes, are a classic French dish that is often considered a special occasion food. They are typically made by searing potatoes in butter until golden brown on all sides, then braising them in a flavorful liquid until tender and creamy.
However, making traditional fondant potatoes can be a bit time-consuming and labor-intensive. This stovetop version is a quick and easy cheat that is still delicious and impressive.
Serve the fondant potatoes with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sour cream, ketchup, or aioli.
Enjoy!
