Working time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 25 minutes

A bit of fiddling, but worth it, also delicious from the clay oven

Peel, wash, and dry the potatoes, then cut four parallel slits into each one with a knife. Wash the bay leaves, pat them dry, and cut them into four equal-sized pieces with scissors. Push a quarter of a leaf into each slit using a knife. Place the cooked potatoes in an ovenproof dish, pour over the broth and oil, and sprinkle with salt. Bake in the oven at 180°C for about 40 minutes. Baste with broth several times during baking. The potatoes look great and taste delicious. A great side dish for poultry, such as lemon chicken.
