Olive Oil Braised Potatoes
Serves 4

2 medium Idaho potatoes, washed, skin on, cut into 1/2-inch slices
Gray salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 sprigs fresh thyme
4 garlic cloves

Preheat the grill. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Put the potato
slices on the hot grill and cook for about 2 minutes on each side
to mark them. Remove from the grill and place them in a single layer
in a baking pan. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Add enough
olive oil to reach 1/3 up the sides of the potatoes. Turn the
potatoes over to coat with the oil. Scatter the thyme and garlic
clove s over the potatoes, sprinkle with a little more salt, if
desired, and place in the oven. After about 15 to 20 minutes, the
potatoes will be tender. Remove from the oven and let them cool in
the oil. Serve at room temperature.
