This recipe is from Thierry Thorens book Etonnants Legumes--french for amazing vegetables. I thought it was unusual and different, so I made it the other day. I served it with Prime Rib. And it was truly amazing.

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 pounds waxy potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 4 medium onions, sliced
  • 8 garlic cloves, unpeeled
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 2 to 4 thyme sprigs
  • 1/2 cup black olives, pitted

Directions
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan until quite hot.
  2. Add the potatoes, onions, and garlic, stirring to coat. Season with salt and pepper, and add the thyme sprigs.
