Method

  1. Cut 2cm off the long ends of all the potatoes so they have two ends that they can stand up on, then peel the skin from the sides. Cut each potato in half again so you have twelve short cylinders.
  2. Heat the oil in a lidded medium deep frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry the potatoes for 5-6 mins on each cut end, until they have a golden crust. Add the butter and allow to melt, then stir in the garlic and rosemary and allow to cook for 1 min before carefully pouring in the stock. Add the lid and turn the heat down to gently simmer for 20 mins, until the potatoes are tender throughout.
