Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds small potatoes (Yukon Gold or baby red), halved or quartered

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped)

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 400 °F (200 °C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

  • Prepare Potatoes:
    In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

  • Roast:
    Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the edges and tender inside.

  • Serve:
    Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use baby potatoes of uniform size for even cooking.

  • For extra crispiness, increase oven temp to 425 °F (220 °C) and reduce roast time slightly.

  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice at serving for bright flavor.

  • Recipe easily doubles for larger gatherings.
