Method

  • step 1

    Put the potatoes, garlic and bay leaves in a large lidded sauté pan. Pour over the wine, add the butter and put the lid on the pan. Set over a medium heat and simmer for 1 hr until the wine has completely evaporated and the potatoes are coated in the buttery juices.

  • step 2

    Reduce heat to low, then sizzle the potatoes in the buttery mixture, shaking the pan and turning the potatoes occasionally until they are completely cooked through, and the skins are brown and crisp. Serve scooped straight from the pan with a sprinkling of sea salt.

Made as part of a "hot fork buffet" for a group of friends - delicious!! Even more tasty once they'd cooled to room temperature!

Can I start these earlier in the day, let them cool off and then put them into the oven to brown off? If so, how long should they be in there? Don't want to be messing about with saute pan on top of oven while eating my starter!!!!

Thanks for your question. We haven't tested these in the oven and would suggest sticking to the hob as you'll need to turn them to brown and crisp them. You could take the potatoes to the end of stage 1 earlier, then do stage 2 before serving.

Great for a dinner party as can be left on the hob unattended. Make sure you use a wide pan to let the potatoes colour in the buttery juices, a small pan will just steam them and not get any colour. We have done these so many times and always a success with the guests, they don't spoil if left for…
