Ingredients
- 2 pounds potatoes baby red or yukon gold
- 3 cloves garlic minced (about ¼ cup)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450.
- Place the potatoes in a pot. Add cold water until the water is about 1 inch over the tops of the potatoes. Over high heat, bring to a boil. Boil for about 15-20 minutes or until a knife inserted in the potatoes has little resistance.
- Drain the potatoes.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic and thyme.
- Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Using the bottom of a jar or glass, press on the potatoes to flatten them, but not too hard or they will fall apart.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Using a spoon, spoon the olive oil mixture over each potato.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden and crispy.
Notes
Press very gently on the potatoes at first until you see how hard you can press.
