Potatoes a la Two Fat Ladies with Fresh Herbs
Total time: 1 hour 15 minutes
This is something I watched "The Two Fat Ladies" do on their cooking show. Perfect for late summer, flavored with lots of fresh herbs and garlic; I hope I can do them as well as Jennifer. You can modify the herbs to suit your taste, just use lots! This serves 4.
Ingredients:
- 5 medium potatoes, 700gr, 24.7oz
- 2 tbs chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tbs chopped fresh basil
- 2 tbs chopped fresh oregano or rosemary substitute 2 tsp dried rosemary
- 2 tbs chopped fresh thyme or sage
- 4 - 5 cloves garlic, 15gr, .53oz
- 2 - 3 tbs good olive oil, 40.5gr, 1.4oz
- 1/3 cup chicken stock, 75gr, 2.6oz
Instructions:
- With a sharp knife thinly slice the potatoes. Put slices in a large bowl of cool water and set aside.
- Chop or snip herbs.
- Finely chop garlic and mix together with chopped herbs.
- Remove potatoes from water, lay out on kitchen (paper) towels and pat dry.
- Drizzle a bit of the oil in a glass baking dish, just large enough to hold ingredients.
- Make a layer of potatoes, sprinkle with a bit of the herb/garlic mixture and drizzle with a little oil.
- Repeat 4 more times.
- Pour the stock over all, cover with foil and bake at 400F (200C) for 30 minutes.
- Remove foil and continue baking another 30 minutes. Top potatoes should start to brown and get crisp.
- Remove from oven and serve.
Note: I use a scissors to snip the herbs first and use the flat of a large knife to smash the garlic. Then combine the herbs and garlic and chop finely, using a large knife in a 'rocking' motion.
