Method

• 1.
  Preheat oven to 180°C.
• 2.
  Peel the potatoes into a smooth oval shape, then use a sharp knife to make small horizontal cuts halfway through the potato (being careful not to cut all the way through) from one end to the other. (To help, push a wooden skewer lengthwise through middle of potato while cutting.) Place oil, garlic, thyme and a pinch of sea salt in a bowl. Stir to combine. Roll the potatoes in the oil mixture, then place on a baking tray and roast for 1 hour and 10 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
