  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.

  Question: do I peel the potatoes or not? In the picture they're not peeled... so is that the way I should leave them? Hope I'll get an answer. Thanks! :)

  KitKat - I don't peel mine. I think if you wanted to peel your potatoes you should have one that would take to being boiled in stock. Floury potatoes would just dissolve into the stock. I think it would would say to peel them in the ingredients list if they needed to be. Good Luck...

  Really really tasty potatoes (: I never put thyme in and I always put LOADS more garlic in than that (I only ever make about 500-750g potatoes and use at least three large garlic cloves, but that's just a personal preference). I find that it can take a bit longer than 15 minutes on the stove, but take care not to over cook on the hob, because the fondant can go too thick.
