Ingredients
- 2 lbs Potatoes
- 4 Tablespoons light olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh Thyme
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200ºC/400ºF.
- Peel the potatoes, cutting any larger ones, so they’re uniformly sized. I cut mine to be a little smaller than a ping-pong ball.
- Wash the potatoes in cold water to remove extra starch, then add them to a large pot. Boil enough water to cover the potatoes well (about 2 inches higher than the potatoes). Pour over the potatoes, salt the water, and parboil for 10 to 15 minutes, then drain in a strainer and leave dry.
- Once dry, gently shake the strainer to rough up.
- Add the potatoes to a large bowl. Add the oil, salt, and pepper, gently stir to coat, transfer to a baking sheet in one layer, and add the fresh thyme.
- Roast in the hot oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until crispy and golden brown. For even browning, flip the potatoes in the pan halfway through the cooking time.
- Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain off any excess oil and serve.
