Here’s a simple, flavor-packed thyme potatoes recipe 🥔🌿—crispy outside, soft inside. Perfect as a side for any meal!
Thyme Potatoes
Ingredients
- 1 kg (2 lb) potatoes, peeled or scrubbed
- 3 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
- 2–3 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or 1 tsp dried thyme)
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Prep potatoes
- Cut potatoes into even chunks (about 2–3 cm / 1-inch pieces) so they cook evenly.
- Pat dry to help them crisp.
- Season
- Toss potatoes with olive oil, thyme, garlic (if using), salt, and pepper. Make sure everything is coated.
- Roast
- Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast 35–45 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve
- Optional: sprinkle extra fresh thyme or a little grated Parmesan on top for extra flavor.
Tips
- For extra crispiness, boil potato chunks 5 minutes before roasting, then drain and dry.
- Mix in other herbs like rosemary or parsley for variety.
- Works well with sweet potatoes too—just reduce roasting time slightly.
If you want, I can give a pan-fried version that’s quicker and super crispy in 15–20 minutes.
Do you want me to do that?
