Method

  1. Heat oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. Slice the potatoes into rounds the thickness of a £1 coin. Heat the oil in a large saucepan and add the onions, season with a little salt, lots of pepper and the thyme. Cook gently for about 15 mins until softened.
  2. Generously butter a large roasting tin and arrange a layer of potatoes over the base, overlapping each slice with a sprinkling of onions. Drizzle with a little of the melted butter and season. Continue layering, drizzling with butter, sprinkling with onions and seasoning until all the potatoes have been used, finishing with a top layer of potatoes. Cook in the top of the oven for 1 hr - the potatoes should be meltingly soft and the top golden and crusty.

    Annoyingly this recipe does not state the quantity of potatoes you should use.

    The original recipe states 1.25 kg of potatoes. I do wish BBC GF would check the text.

    I also struggle with the lack of quantities given on the website, such a shame because other than that it is such a great site. Allow longer than an hour for cooking or par boil spuds, mine weren't any where near cooked after an hour. good result in the end though
