Ingredients

  • 150g/5oz butter
  • 4 potatoes
  • 75ml/3fl oz chicken or vegetable stock
  • 2 garlic
  • 2-3 sprigs fresh thyme
  • sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Heat the butter over a medium heat in a saucepan. When the butter is foaming, add the potatoes and fry until deep golden-brown on one side, about 5-6 minutes. (Do not move the potatoes as they cook.)
  • Turn over the potatoes and cook for a further 5-6 minutes, or until golden-brown on both sides.
  • Carefully pour in the stock, then add the garlic cloves and thyme sprigs. (CAUTION: the hot fat will splutter when it comes into contact with the stock.) Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat until the stock is simmering. Simmer the potatoes until tender, then remove the potatoes from the pan using a slotted spoon and keep warm.
