Potato Stacks

Ingredients

• 2 × 100g - 150g floury potatoes
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• sprig of rosemary (optional)
• sprig of thyme (optional)
• 1 clove of garlic (optional)
• 2 × cocktail sticks
• Greaseproof paper

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Serves: 2

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200°c
2. Thinly slice the unpeeled potato and place them in a bowl.
3. Roughly chop the garlic and add it with the thyme, rosemary and oil to the bowl, season with salt & pepper, and gently toss the potatoes to coat each slice.
4. If your baking tray is not non-stick, line it with a piece of greaseproof paper.
5. Find the two largest slices and put each of them on the baking tray. Push a cocktail stick into the centre of each slice and then thread the next largest slice on top of the first one. Continue threading the slices on until you have finished each stack, making sure to leave a small amount of cocktail stick poking out of the top.
6. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes.
7. To serve, put the potato stack on the plate, place a fork over the end of the cocktail stick and carefully pull it out.
