Serves 4

Ingredients

Potatoes
2 pounds, cubed (yukon gold or russet recommended)
Unsalted butter
4 tablespoons, melted
Fresh thyme
2 tablespoons, minced
Salt
1 teaspoon, or to taste
Black pepper
1/2 teaspoon, freshly ground
Garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon (optional for extra flavor)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed potatoes.
  3. Melt the unsalted butter and pour it over the cubed potatoes. Add the minced thyme, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated with the butter and seasonings.
  4. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space to crisp up. Avoid overcrowding the pan for the best results.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet and stir the potatoes to ensure even cooking. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  6. Once baked, remove from the oven and serve hot. For an extra touch, garnish with additional fresh thyme before serving.

Tips

  • 💡 For a creamier texture, consider tossing the potatoes with a splash of cream or sour cream before baking.
  • 💡 Feel free to experiment with other herbs such as rosemary or parsley for a different flavor profile.
  • 💡 These potatoes pair beautifully with roasted meats, grilled fish, or a fresh salad.
