These Melting Potatoes Are Golden, Custardy, and Impossible to Resist

[elleng]

This old French trick makes potatoes melt in your mouth.

Pommes de terre fondantes, also known as melting potatoes, are thick potato rounds treated like meat: seared in oil or animal fat, basted with butter, and then braised in the oven. The result is a side dish with deeply caramelized surfaces, custard-like interiors, and a glossy pan sauce.

The dish consists of thick potato rounds seared until golden, then braised in herb-infused chicken broth and butter until their centers become custardy and the sauce is glossy. Despite their recent internet fame, melting potatoes are nothing new; they're rooted in a classic French technique and have long been a staple on French dinner tables.

((A bit complicated for me! Good luck to y'all!!!!))

1. They sound delicious.

But the pic showed a few that appeared burnt to a crisp- not very appetizing looking!

3. Found these videos on you tube showing how to make them.

Your recipe makes them sound way more complicated than they are.

2. That takes me back..

I'm pushing 80 now, so it's been a long time. My Mother made these when I was a kid - loved 'em. She didn't have a name for them, but they were exactly as you describe.
