Potatoes with lemon thyme salt are a simple yet delicious side dish that combines the earthy flavor of potatoes with a zesty, herbaceous salt blend. This recipe is perfect for any occasion, whether it's a weeknight dinner or a special gathering.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt.
- Peel the potatoes if desired, though leaving the skin on can add extra texture and flavor.
- Cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks or wedges to ensure they cook evenly.
- Place the potato pieces in a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the potatoes.
- Sprinkle the 1 teaspoon of salt evenly over the potatoes.
- Toss the potatoes to coat them evenly with the oil and salt. Make sure every piece is well-coated.
- Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. For best results, use a sheet with a rim to prevent any oil from dripping into the oven.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through to ensure even browning. The potatoes should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside.
- While the potatoes are baking, you can prepare the lemon thyme salt if you desire.
- In a small bowl, mix together finely chopped fresh thyme, a bit of lemon zest, and a pinch of additional salt.
- Alternatively, you can use dried thyme and a small amount of lemon pepper seasoning for a similar effect.
- Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
- If using, sprinkle the lemon thyme salt over the hot potatoes for an added burst of flavor.
- Garnish with a few extra sprigs of thyme or a bit of lemon zest for a decorative touch.
Serve hot as a side dish to your favorite meal, or enjoy them on their own as a delicious and hearty snack.
Tips:
- Choose potatoes that are similar in size to ensure even cooking.
- Soak the potato slices in water for 30 minutes before cooking to remove excess starch and achieve a crispier texture.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) and ensure it is fully heated before placing the potatoes inside.
- Use fresh lemon thyme for the best flavor, but dried thyme can be an alternative if fresh is not available.
- Toss the potatoes with the olive oil and salt in a large bowl to ensure they are evenly coated.
- Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure they roast evenly.
- Halfway through roasting, flip the potatoes to ensure both sides become crispy and golden brown.
- Add additional herbs or spices according to your preference, such as garlic powder, paprika, or rosemary.
These potatoes with lemon thyme salt are a wonderful addition to any meal, offering a perfect balance of flavors and textures. They are easy to make and sure to be a hit with family and friends. Enjoy this delightful dish warm, and savor the delicious blend of crispy potatoes and aromatic seasoning.
