These are a great alternative to roast potatoes. the tops of the potatoes become crispy and dark and underneath are velvety soft.
Preheat the oven to 180 C.
The amount of potatoes depends on the size of the roasting dish. I put the potatoes into the dish I’m using to guesstimate if they would fill the dish.
Begin by peeling the potatoes and then using a mandoline (or a sharp knife) finely slice all the potatoes and place onto a tea towel and pat dry and place in a large bowl
Melt the vegan butter in a pan and add the fresh or dried thyme and stir.
Pour the melted butter over the sliced potatoes and mix thoroughly, separating the slices as you mix to make sure every slice is covered. season to taste.
Now place them into a baking dish, stacking them vertically ,starting at the shortest side of the dish until the dish is completely full. I used the spare slices to go back and fill any gaps.
Bake in the pre heated oven for 30 mins, check with a knife by inserting into the base of the potatoes to see if they are cooked and soft.
Remove from the oven and allow to stand for 10 mins before serving
