There are umpteen ways to cook a potato: fried, baked, mashed and boiled — just to name a few of the classics. But now “melting potatoes,” the latest Pinterest-sourced food craze, has given us a unique way to cook up a side of spuds that is both deliciously indulgent and simple to make.
While relatively unknown in the U.S., melting potatoes have apparently been popular in Europe for a long time, where they’re known as fondant potatoes. Like many other delicious foods, we might have the French to thank for pommes fondant (fondant means “melting”).
No matter what you call them, the process of making melting — or fondant — potatoes is the same.
How To Make Melting Potatoes
First, you cut a pound of potatoes into similarly sized cylinder shapes and coat them in a mixture of melted butter and herbs. From there, you roast your spuds at 500 degrees for about 30 to 45 minutes, flipping them at least once, until both sides are a nice brown color. The end result is a potato that is thick and crispy on the outside but creamy on the inside
The important thing is to make sure you cut your potatoes at least one inch thick.
You also want to make sure that you use a metal pan, as glassware could easily break at such high heat.
