Ingredients

  • 600 g potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • sea salt, to taste
  • fresh ground pepper, to taste
  • 200 ml dry white wine
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Method

  • Pre-heat oven to 200C.
  • Peel potatoes, and slice them cross-wise as thinly as possible by hand using a knife (no need to use a processor or mandoline, but do get them as thin as possible).
  • Put the potato slices in a large bowl and pour the olive oil over; mix well, insuring all slices are separated and coated with the oil.
  • Salt and pepper the potatoes to taste, and again mix well.
  • Add the thyme and mix well.
  • Place the potatoes in a baking dish (I use a 20 cm by 30 cm, and they bake evenly in this).
  • Pour the white wine in the dish and place uncovered in the oven.
  • Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the wine has nearly all evaporated and the potatoes become golden and tender (and will begin to crisp somewhat); keep an eye on them the last few minutes because they can crisp quickly at the end.
  • Serve warm from the oven.
