## Ingredients

- 8 pieces Agria potatoes
- 2 L beef stock
- 170 g clarified butter
- 5 g rosemary
- 5 g thyme
- 5 g smashed garlic
- 25 g cold unsalted butter
- chives
- salt
- lemon juice

## Instructions

1. Take a small amount off the bottom of your potato to make it nice and flat.
2. Put a bamboo skewer through the potato, trying to get it even all the way through to the other side.
3. Make consistent cuts all the way down the potato until you hit the bamboo skewer.
4. Leave the skewers in once the potatoes are nicely scored all the way down.
5. Place the potatoes face down into a pot.
6. Cover the potatoes with beef stock.
7. Lightly poach the potatoes until they are nice and soft.
8. Place the potatoes into a baking dish.
9. Cover the pan with a third of the stock.
10. Add a generous amount of butter, pressing it between the layers of the cooked potato.
11. Add salt, garlic, rosemary, and thyme.
12. Place them in the oven and regularly go in there to baste the layers.
13. After a good amount of time in the oven, give one final baste.
14. Take out the cooking liquid from the baking dish and pour it into a pan.
15. Reduce the cooking liquid down whilst constantly stirring until it comes together into a thick glaze.
16. Finish the glaze with a few chives.
17. Take the potatoes out of the baking dish and place them onto a plate.
18. Remove the skewers from the potatoes.
19. Glaze up the potatoes with the reduced sauce.
