Total Time: 40 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 750 g potatoes
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• sea salt
• fresh ground black pepper
• 250 ml dry wine
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme sprig

Recipe

• 1 heat oven to 200°c.
• 2 peel the potatoes and finely slice crosswise.
• 3 toss the potato slices in a bowl with the olive oil, sea salt and pepper.
• 4 lightly oil a baking tray (or deep rimmed baking sheet) and scatter the potato loosely over the base.
• 5 pour over the wine and scatter with the thyme.
• 6 bake for 30 minutes, during which time the wine will boil and bubble away, and the potatoes will crisp to a beautiful golden crunch.
• 7 keep an eye on them during the last few minutes after the wine has evaporated, as they can over crisp.
• 8 the slices in the corners might get scorched, but it's worth the sacrifice.
• 9 use a fish slice or spautla to lift the potatoes out of the pan, and serve hot.
