Fondant Potatoes
Fondant potatoes are a classic French dish made by browning thick slices or cylinders of potatoes in butter, then slowly roasting or braising them in stock (often chicken or vegetable) until they are tender and creamy on the inside, with a golden, crispy exterior. The dish is known for its rich, buttery flavor and elegant presentation, making it a popular choice for fine dining or special occasions.
