Cider fondant potatoes

Cider fondant potatoes

Even though these are cooked in cider, all it adds is a sweet apple flavour that kids will love, and all the alcohol is burnt off during the cooking

Method

  1. Peel potatoes and trim the two longer sides so potatoes lie flat on both sides. Heat butter and oil in a frying pan large enough to hold all of the potatoes. When the fat is hot, fry on both sides until dark golden, around 10-15 mins, then add garlic.
  2. Pour in enough cider and stock to go halfway up the side of the potatoes. Simmer for 20 mins, then turn and cook the other side for 20 mins. Top up with cider and stock if the liquid evaporates. Transfer to oven for 10 mins at 180C/160C/ gas 4 once the pork is resting, until cooked through and most of the liquid has evaporated.

    Fizzbomb suggested these potatoes with the cider pork chops so will try tonight using vegetable stock in place of chicken stock. Not sure why emi changed chicken stock for apple juice. Using cider and apple juice together?!! But it looks good.

    Had these with roast pork. Nice accompaniment, but I find fondant potatoes a bit soggy. Might stick to roasties in future.
