Swedish Potato's

My mothers parents hail from Sweden. In fact she has repressed memories of head cheese and raw herring. Herrings are my favourite fish, so now i know where i get it from. I call these Swedish potato's (i can in no way verify their Swedishness) and they are one of my autumn favourites. Not quite roasts, not quite chips and not quite baked, the best of all three.

Ingredients

• 2 crushed garlic cloves
• 1/2 tsp of salt
• 1/4 tsp sweet smoked paprika
• pinch of hot smoked paprika/ chilli powder
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• 12 potato's (King Edwards wil do)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 220 degrees C. Slice the potato's leaving around 5mm between each slice. I do this on a large sturdy wooden spoon so that i never cut through the potato completely.

Meanwhile blend the garlic, spices, salt and butter until smooth and finger over the top of each potato, making sure some gets between the slices. Bake for 35 mins uncovered until coloured and slightly crunchy on top.
