Easy boulangere potatoes make a great side dish, cooking the potatoes slowly in the oven in vegetable stock. A great dish to serve with a Sunday roast.
700gMaris Piper or Desiree potatoes(peeled and very finely sliced)
30gbutter
1onion(peeled and sliced)
2clovesgarlic(crushed)
3springsfresh thyme leaves
200mlvegetable stock(warm)
salt & pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180C/160CFan.
Take time to peel and slice the potatoes really thinly. No need for fancy kit, a sharp kitchen knife will work perfectly.
Melt 25g of butter in a saucepan over a gentle heat and add the onion and garlic. Cook slowly for 10 minutes to soften the onion, taking care not to colour the vegetables.
In an oven proof dish (approximately 15x20cm), place a layer of sliced potatoes on the bottom and season with little salt and pepper. Don't be too heavy handed with the seasoning as each potato layer will be seasoned.
Follow this with a layer of the buttery onion and garlic mixture and sprinkle over a little of the fresh thyme leaves. Repeat this process a further twice, then finally finish with a layer of sliced potatoes on top.
Pour over the hot vegetable stock, season with a touch more salt and pepper and place the final 5g of butter on top. Place the dish in the oven for 1 hour or until the potatoes are cooked and a knife slides easily through the layers.
Remove from the oven and leave to stand for 5 minutes before serving.
