Fondant Potatoes
  1. Preheat oven to 400˚F. Stand each potato cut-side up. Using a 2 inch circle cutter, cut a cylinder from each piece of potato and discard or reserve the scraps.

  2. Transfer potato cylinders to a bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and salt and pepper.

  3. Place a large, oven-proof pan over medium-high heat, add remaining oil and brown potatoes, about 4 to 5 minutes, on each flat-cut side. (If potatoes brown too quickly lower the heat to medium)

  4. Add butter, thyme and garlic to the pan and continue to cook for 2 to 3 minutes, basting potatoes with melted butter.

  5. Pour warm broth into pan and transfer potatoes to oven and bake for 15 minutes.

  6. Remove potatoes from oven and baste well with butter-stock mixture. Return pan to oven and continue to bake potatoes for an additional 20 minutes. (If all the liquid evaporates, add a little more broth to the pan, as needed).

  7. Check the doneness by inserting a knife through the center of one of the potatoes. Potatoes should be completely fork tender. Remove from the oven.

  8. Top with fresh thyme sprigs and sea salt flakes.
