Ignite the charcoal in the Big Green Egg and heat to a temperature of 140°C.Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. Meanwhile, for the herb butter, peel the garlic and finely chop the cloves. Put all the ingredients for the herb butter into a food processor and blend until smooth. Set the herb butter aside.Cut the potatoes into slices of 2 to 3 centimetres thick and spread them over the Cast Iron Skillet.
