Spicy Potatoes

0 Preheat the oven to 375 F
1 In a pan large enough to hold the potatoes, melt half of the butter and sauté the chopped onions and garlic over medium heat. Once the onions are translucent, add the paprika and mix well. Remove from the heat.
2 Add the smashed tomatoes, potato slices, salt, and pepper to the onions and mix well so that every piece of potatoes is well seasoned.
3 Add the potatoes to a baking dish and arrange the rounds in a slightly overlapping pattern, with the smashed tomatoes between layers.Drizzle with the chicken stock and tuck the bay leaf and the thyme between the potato layers.
4 Cut the remaining butter into small pieces and spread them evenly over the potatoes.
5 Bake for about 1 hour and 30 minutes. The chicken stock needs to be absorbed, and the potatoes should be soft when pierced.
6 Remove the bay leaf and fresh thyme and serve.
