1. Preheat oven to 400ºF (200ºC). 2. Spread salt in the bottom of an extra-large rectangular baking dish. 3. In a large bowl, toss potatoes with 2 tbsp (25 mL) 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. 4. Turn on the broiler. Heat remaining ½ tbsp (7 mL) 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
