Fondant Potatoes

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 200°C (fan-forced).

2. Trim ends of each potato to make a flat surface, then cut in half to make evenly sized cylindrical pieces.
3. Heat the olive oil in an oven-proof frying pan or skillet. When oil is hot, add the potatoes in a single layer and cook until golden on the bottom (approximately 5 minutes). Turn and repeat until the other side is golden.
4. Add butter, garlic and salt. Heat for approximately 1 minute, until butter is foamy.
5. Add stock, and transfer the pan to the oven.
6. Cook until potatoes are tender, approximately 30 minutes, turning halfway.
7. Serve in the pan, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
