Peel and halve one garlic clove and rub all around the inside of a 1.2litre/2 pint ovenproof dish.
Roughly chop the garlic along with the remaining garlic clove then, using the flat end of a knife, crush into a paste with the sea salt.
Layer the sliced potato and mashed garlic in the ovenproof dish, seasoning the layers as you go with freshly ground black pepper.
