Creating Fondant Potatoes is straightforward with these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare Potatoes: Peel the potatoes and cut them into cylindrical shapes about 2 inches high.
3. Sear Potatoes: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the potato cylinders to the skillet and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
4. Add Broth: Carefully pour the broth into the skillet around the potatoes, ensuring not to wash off the sear. Add minced garlic and herbs.
5. Season: Season the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Transfer to Oven: Spoon the remaining butter on top of the potatoes, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
7. Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the broth has reduced and the potatoes are tender and golden.
8. Serve: Remove from the oven. Serve hot with the remaining broth drizzled over the top.
