Step 1

Preheat oven to 180°C.

Step 2

Peel potatoes. Cut them into shapes using cookie cutters or by hand, aiming for 3cm thickness for even cooking. Trim off the edges with a peeler.

Step 3

Heat oil in a wide saucepan and sear the potatoes on both sides until golden brown.

Step 4

Once browned, add butter to the pan and let it cook for about 2 minutes. In the meantime, slice the garlic. Add garlic and thyme, cook until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in enough beef stock to cover about 3/4 of the potatoes. Cover and cook in the oven for 10 minutes.

Step 6

After 10 minutes, baste the potatoes with the stock, cover and cook for another 15 minutes. Flip the potatoes, baste again and cook for 5 to 10 minutes more.

Step 7

Once the potatoes are soft and the stock is reduced, plate the potatoes. Take out thyme and garlic to finish the sauce on the stove. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
