Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400ºF.
Spread salt in the bottom of an extra-large rectangular baking dish.
In a large bowl, toss potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Press potatoes, cut-side up, in salt. Roast potatoes for about 35 to 40 minutes or until tender when pierced with a knife. Remove potatoes from oven and cool slightly. Scrape excess salt from potatoes with spoon and place on a clean baking sheet.
Turn on the broiler. Heat remaining ½ tablespoon olive oil in a small nonstick skillet. Add garlic slices and fry until golden and crisp, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a medium stainless-steel bowl. Add the goat cheese, thyme and black pepper. Stir to combine. With a teaspoon, divide goat cheese mixture among potato cups. Broil potatoes for about 1 minute or until bubbling. Serve potato cups garnished with basil leaves.
