Method

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C, 350°F, gas mark 4. 
  2. Peel the potatoes. Make each one into a disc. Do this by cutting a flat top and bottom to each potato. Then cut out a disc of potato with a pastry cutter. Cut off the sharp corners to make a nice disc shape. (Save all the trimmings; you can then use for another recipe, mash or soup etc.) 
  3. Melt the butter in a pan over a medium heat until it starts to foam. Place the potatoes in the pan and cook for about 5-6 minutes until golden on the bottom. When done turn over the potato and cook for the same time again. 
  4. Add the stock. Put in the crushed garlic clove and thyme sprigs, and season well. 
  5. Cover with a lid or tin foil and place in the oven for 25-30 minutes, covered until the potato is cooked. Keep warm.
