Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 russet (baking) potatoes, peeled
3 tablespoons clarified butter
For the clarified butter
unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Clarify butter:
  • In a heavy saucepan melt the butter over low heat. Remove the pan from the heat, let the butter stand for 3 minutes, and skim the froth. Strain the butter through a sieve lined with a double thickness of rinsed and squeezed cheesecloth into a bowl, leaving the milky solids in the bottom of the pan. Pour the clarified butter into a jar or crock and store it, covered, in the refrigerator. The butter keeps, covered and chilled, indefinitely. When clarified, butter loses about one fourth of its original volume.
  • Make the potatoes:
  • Scoop out balls from the potatoes with a small melon-ball cutter and dry them well. In a heavy skillet heat the butter over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it sauté the potatoes, shaking the skillet, until they are golden brown. Sprinkle the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste, reduce the heat to moderately low, and cook the potatoes, covered, shaking the skillet occasionally, for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are tender.

POTATOES FONDANT RECIPE BY TASTY



Potatoes Fondant Recipe by Tasty image

Fondant potatoes, also known as melting potatoes, are a classic French delicacy that seem like something only fancy chefs can whip up, but are actually quite simple to make. Yukon gold potatoes are cut into cylinders, pan-fried until crispy, then transferred to the oven to braise in a buttery herb bath for a crispy-on-the-outside texture that's deceptively creamy on the inside. Don't forget to eat the roasted garlic with the potatoes-it's the best part!

2 tablespoons canola oil

Tips:

  • Choose the right butter: Use unsalted butter with at least 82% butterfat content. This will ensure that the butter clarifies properly and has a rich, flavorful taste.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the butter from burning.
  • Cook the butter over low heat: This will allow the water to evaporate slowly and prevent the butter from scorching.
  • Do not stir the butter: Stirring the butter will cause it to foam and splatter. Instead, gently swirl the pan to distribute the heat evenly.
  • Watch the butter closely: Clarified butter can burn quickly, so it is important to keep an eye on it while it is cooking.
  • Strain the butter through a cheesecloth-lined sieve: This will remove any impurities from the butter and leave you with a clear, golden liquid.

Conclusion:

Clarified butter is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. It has a high smoke point, making it ideal for frying and sautéing. It also adds a rich, buttery flavor to baked goods and sauces. Whether you are a professional chef or a home cook, clarified butter is a valuable addition to your kitchen. With its many uses and easy-to-follow preparation, it is sure to become a staple in your cooking routine.
