Method
- Pre-heat the oven to 180°C, 350°F, gas mark 4.
- 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.)
- 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.
- Add the stock. Put in the crushed garlic clove and thyme sprigs, and season well.
- Cover with a lid or tin foil and place in the oven for 25-30 minutes, covered until the potato is cooked. Keep warm.
