Description

Potatoes cooked with garlic and herbs until they have a gorgeous almost melting centre


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 medium potatoes
  • 100 g salted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves of garlic, gently crushed with the flat side of a knife
  • 2 sprigs of fresh thyme
  • 6 fresh sage leaves
  • 200 ml vegetable stock
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Peel the potatoes. Slice the top and bottom off the potatoes so they can stand up in the pan during cooking.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a wide and shallow frying pan that has a lid. Stand the potatoes on one of the flat ends and cook for 6 minutes over a low heat until the end is golden brown. Turn on to the other flat end and repeat.
  3. Add the butter, garlic, sage and thyme and allow the butter to melt completely.
  4. Add the stock carefully and put the lid on the pan.
  5. Simmer gently for 40 minutes until the potato is tender and the sides of the potatoes are lightly golden.
  6. Serve drizzled with a little bit of the herby buttery stock from the pan.

Notes
