Creating Garlic Butter Fondant Potatoes is a straightforward process that will leave you with a deliciously satisfying dish. Follow these steps for success:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare Potatoes: Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick slices, about 1.5 inches thick.
3. Sear Potatoes: In a large oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the potato slices, cut side down, and cook until golden brown (about 5-7 minutes).
4. Add Garlic: Once the potatoes are golden, add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional minute.
5. Season and Add Broth: Season the potatoes with salt and pepper. Pour in the broth and sprinkle with thyme.
6. Oven Time: Bring the broth to a simmer, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the liquid has reduced.
7. Finish on the Stovetop: Remove the skillet from the oven and place it back on the stovetop. Allow the liquid to reduce further until slightly syrupy, turning the potatoes occasionally.
8. Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

By following these steps, you’ll create Garlic Butter Fondant Potatoes that are sure to impress.
