Ingredients

600g new potatoes (small is best - I used Jersey Royals), washed
1 tsp black peppercorns
2 heads garlic , broken into cloves
1 lemon , sliced
3 lemon thyme sprigs, plus 1 tsp picked leaves to serve
300ml good rapeseed oil

Steps:

Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. In a casserole dish, add the potatoes, peppercorns, garlic, lemon slices and thyme sprigs with 1 tsp flaky sea salt, then pour over the oil. Put the lid on and cook for 45 mins.
Once the potatoes are cooked, remove from the oven and leave to stand for 20 mins or so. To serve, remove the potatoes and garlic cloves from the oil and scatter the thyme leaves on top.
