Wine Thyme Potatoes

Directions

1. 1
   Pre-heat oven to 200C.
2. 2
   Peel potatoes, and slice them cross-wise as thinly as possible by hand using a knife (no need to use a processor or mandoline, but do get them as thin as possible).
3. 3
   Put the potato slices in a large bowl and pour the olive oil over; mix well, insuring all slices are separated and coated with the oil.
4. 4
   Salt and pepper the potatoes to taste, and again mix well.
5. 5
   Add the thyme and mix well.
6. 6
   Place the potatoes in a baking dish (I use a 20 cm by 30 cm, and they bake evenly in this).
7. 7
   Pour the white wine in the dish and place uncovered in the oven.
8. 8
   Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the wine has nearly all evaporated and the potatoes become golden and tender (and will begin to crisp somewhat); keep an eye on them the last few minutes because they can crisp quickly at the end.
9. 9
   Serve warm from the oven.
