fine side dish

Preheat the oven to 190°C (fan/convection oven). Wash and dry the potatoes, and cut them into 1/2 cm thick slices. You can also peel the potatoes; I make them with the skin on. Peel and halve the garlic cloves. Cut the ginger into thick slices; do not peel it; it’s just for flavor. Line a baking tray, or better yet, a deep oven tray, with baking paper and brush on some olive oil. Place the potato slices next to each other on the tray and add the herb-pepper mixture. Arrange the garlic, ginger, and Thai basil stems between them. Drizzle everything with olive oil again and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes until golden brown. Only at the very end, when the potatoes are done, add a little salt. These baked potatoes are delicious as a side dish to many vegetables and sauces, but also simply on their own with a yogurt or quark dip.
