    METHOD

    Make thin slices across the width and length of each potato. Make sure not to cut all the way through the potatoes.

    Tip: Place the potato between two chopsticks, one along each side lengthwise, to hold it steady while you slice and prevent it from being sliced all the way through.

    Wrap the potatoes in parchment paper and secure with toothpicks.

    Cook the potatoes for 45 to 50 minutes over indirect heat.

    Combine the ingredients for the tomato confit in a small cast-iron frying pan and cook over indirect heat for 30 minutes at the same time as the potatoes.

    To make the herbed sour cream, mince the garlic and combine it with the remaining ingredients.

    With the herbed sour cream, serve the potatoes and tomatoes.
