Potato Fondantes With Oregano Recipes

POTATO FONDANTES WITH OREGANO

Steps:

• Do not peel the potatoes, but remove any eyes and dark spots. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and arrange them cut-side down in one layer in a large (preferably 10-inch) nonstick skillet.
• Add 1 1/2 cups water, butter, oil, oregano and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, and cover. Reduce the heat to medium, and cook for 20 to 25 minutes. (At this point, the water should be gone and the potatoes should be browning nicely in the butter and oil.)
• Turn the potatoes over and saute them for 2 to 3 minutes to brown them lightly on the other side. Serve with the chicken.

FONDANT POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Cut off ends of russet potatoes, stand potatoes on end, and peel potatoes from top to bottom with a sharp knife to make each potato into a uniform cylinder. Cut each cylinder in half crosswise to make 6 potato cylinders about 2 inches long.
• Place potatoes into a bowl of cold water for about 5 minutes to remove starch from outsides; pat dry with paper towels.
• Place a heavy oven-proof skillet (such as a cast iron skillet) over high heat. Pour in vegetable oil; heat oil until it shimmers slightly.
• Place potato cylinders with best-looking ends into the hot oil, lower heat to medium-high, and pan-fry potatoes until well-browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
• Flip the potatoes onto the opposite ends. As they cook, use a paper towel held with tongs to carefully blot out the oil from the skillet. Add butter and thyme sprigs to skillet.
• Pick up a thyme sprig with tongs and use it to paint butter over the top of the potatoes. Cook until butter foams and foam turns from white to a pale tan color. Season with more salt and pepper. Pour chicken stock into skillet.
• Transfer skillet to preheated oven and cook until potatoes are tender and creamy inside, about 30 minutes. If potatoes aren't tender, add 1/4 cup more stock and let cook 10 more minutes.
• Place potatoes on a serving platter and spoon thyme-scented butter remaining in skillet over potatoes. Garnish with thyme sprigs. Let cool about 5 minutes before serving.

• Remove the pan from the heat and press on each potato with a spoon or metal measuring cup just until it cracks open.
• Set the pan over medium high heat and cook, uncovered until all the liquid has evaporated and the potatoes have browned on one side, about 10 minutes.
• Gently turn the potatoes and brown the other side, another 4-5 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat and let the potatoes rest for 5 minutes before transferring to a serving platter.
