Potatoes a la Two Fat Ladies with fresh herbs Time: 75 minutes (60 minutes baking)
This is something I watched "The Two Fat Ladies" do on their cooking show. Perfect for 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!
4 - 6 potatoes, depending on size, (24 oz, 750gr) enough for 2 meals
2 tbs chopped fresh parsley
2 tbs chopped fresh basil
2 tbs chopped fresh oregano or rosemary
2 tbs chopped fresh thyme
4 cloves garlic
2 - 3 tbs olive oil, the good stuff
1/3 cup chicken stock
With a sharp knife thinly slice the potatoes. Put slices in a large bowl of cool water and set aside. 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.
