Ingredients

• 8 small new potatoes
• 3 or 4 sprigs of fresh thyme (or one tsp dried)
• 4 garlic cloves
• 50g - 2oz butter
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt & Pepper

Steps

• Step 1

  Place un-peeled potatoes in a pot and cover with cold water. Add salt approx one tbsp, place on heat and bring to a simmer. After approx 15 to 20 minutes they should be ready. Prick them with a skewer or a small knife to make sure they are soft in the middle. Then strain.

• Step 2

  In a pan on moderate heat add the butter, add the garlic cloves with skin on, give them a crush first. Add the thyme, mix ingredients and add the cooked potatoes. Add cracked pepper and drizzle the olive oil, turn the heat to low and keep tossing the potatoes so they brown evenly. You optionally roast them in the oven. Either-way, potatoes are ready when there’s a brown crust all over.

Little Tips

If potatoes are a little larger, cut them in half.
