Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200°C / 400°F (180°C fan).
  • Place side of knife on unpeeled garlic clove. Hit firmly with palm of hand so the garlic bursts open a bit but mostly stays intact.
  • Put potatoes on a tray and push together. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Toss through thyme and garlic. Spread out on tray.
  • Roast for 30 minutes. Toss. Roast for a further 25 to 35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden.
  • Sprinkle with parsley, if using, and serve immediately!

Notes

Dried herbs can be used in a pinch. Avoid using minced garlic as it burns.
