Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb small red potatoes
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 roll parchment paper (or aluminum foil)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut them into quarters.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves as finely as possible.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Tear off 4 large sheets of parchment paper, each approximately 15x15 inches.
Divide the potatoes evenly among the parchment sheets, placing them in the center of each sheet.
Drizzle the butter and garlic mixture evenly over the potatoes in each sheet.
Top each portion of potatoes with 1 sprig of rosemary and 2 sprigs of thyme.
Fold the parchment paper over the potatoes and crimp the edges tightly to form a sealed packet, ensuring no steam escapes during baking. Alternatively, use aluminum foil if preferred.
Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Carefully remove the packets from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before opening.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish or serve directly in the parchment for a rustic presentation. Enjoy!
