Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds baby potatoes halved if large
  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 5 garlic cloves smashed with the skin on
  • A few sprigs of fresh thyme or rosemary as an alternative
  • Optional: finely chopped fresh parsley or additional thyme for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Start by setting your oven to 400°F. If your oven has a convection setting, adjust to 375°F.
  • For the garlic, lay your knife flat on top of a clove and give it a good whack with the heel of your hand to crack it open.

  • Drizzle your potatoes with the olive oil, and then sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper. Give them a good toss to coat evenly. Scatter the smashed garlic and fresh thyme sprigs among the potatoes.

  • Slide the tray into the preheated oven and let the potatoes roast for 30 minutes. After the first half-hour, give them a stir to ensure they're browning evenly. Continue roasting for another 25 to 35 minutes. They should be beautifully golden and crisp when done.

  • If you've chosen to use parsley or additional thyme, now's the time to sprinkle it over the hot potatoes. Serve them straight from the oven.
