If you’re looking for a quick and easy side dish that is as delicious as it is fool-proof, this is it. The thyme adds fresh, bright flavor and the garlic turns into lovely little garlic chips that pack a real punch. The best part is that this dish goes with just about anything.
Garlic & Thyme Roasted Baby Potatoes
(Yield: 6-8 servings)
1 1/2 lb baby yellow potatoes, washed and dried
2 TB olive oil
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1 TB fresh minced thyme
Generous pinch coarse salt and freshly grated pepper
Preheat oven to 425F. In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Transfer the potatoes to the baking sheet (lined with a silpat liner if you have one), drizzle the oil mixture on top, then toss to coat all the potatoes. Bake for 40 minutes or until potatoes are golden brown outside and fully cooked (to test if they’re done: pierce the largest potato with a sharp knife, if it gently slides in and out the potatoes are done). While they roast, gently give the pan a good toss every so often to turn the potatoes.

I’m amazed by how many recipes you scheduled to post while you were on vacation! We wouldn’t even know you were gone except for your lack of comments. I admire your preparation! The potatoes look so delish. I don’t know why, but I often forget about potatoes as a side dish. So weird!
I love that these potatoes are cooked up whole! As much as I love chopping up a big batch of veggies, some nights I’m in the mood to just wash and bake! Perfect side dish
I have a giant bag of these at home!!! ohmygosh I am totally making these! =) yum! <3
My all time favorite.But I always make them with rosemary.Thyme sounds awesome..My neighbour was asking me a recipe with thyme, I l forward your link to her.

Roasted potatoes are the perfect side dish, I think. And the tiny ones are so elegant!
Those must be so good and flavorful!
Simple but very flavourful!
This looks so good. I’m on a comfort food kick right now because I’m a little under the weather. The skins look crispy, and they seem buttery and delicious. I may have to bribe some people to make these for me.
Looks delicious baby potatoes and sure fresh thyme brings out the flavor.
These look like the perfect side dish Faith! :D
Yum! Perfect side dish – quick and delicious!

I like roasted potatoes! they can be eaten with so many food. I can’t live without garlic so this is a go for me!
Just when I think I’m getting sick of potatoes! Its still winter here in Michigan, apparently, so I’m looking forward to having a good excuse to keep up the comfort food :)
Great flavors, yummy!

I love quick no fuss sides like this. Garlic and thyme are such a great combo. I make this when I want a lazy side for hubby’s dinner. Although I could get lazier and make him make it himself. Teehee. Looks yummy, Faith.
There is no better side dish than roasted potatoes, and the cute factor of these mini potatoes just adds to the perfection! Sounds great!
