Potatoes with lemon thyme salt

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:

6 potatoes
1200g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
1 tsp salt
5g

Instructions:

2. Prepare the Potatoes:
- 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.
3. Season the Potatoes:
- 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.
4. Bake the Potatoes:
- 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.
5. Prepare Lemon Thyme Salt (Optional):
- 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.
6. Serve:
- 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.
7. Enjoy:
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.
