1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Heat the oil and butter in a large roasting tin. Add the garlic and cook over a medium heat for 2 mins. Tip in the potatoes and toss to coat in the garlic butter and oil.
2. Pour the stock over the potatoes and season with pepper and a little salt. Bring to the boil then transfer to the oven. Cook for 40-45 mins or until tender.
3. Transfer to the stove-top and toss over a medium heat until most of the liquid has been absorbed and turned to a shiny glaze - about 15 mins. Tip potatoes into a warm serving dish and scatter over the thyme and serve.

  In my opinion and as a garlic lover, this is the greatest, tastiest, moreish way i've eaten the humble spud. I do bucket loads of these at large gatherings/BBQ's and they always go within 5 minutes. I can never make enough and have handed out the recipe to many folk - Unbeatable!

  This is a great dish to make for a dinner party as most of the cooking can be done earlier in the day.

  I just love and use regular fresh garlic in a few dishes..so as not to overdose on it.
