Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly under cold running water and dry them with a kitchen towel.
Cut each potato in half. If the potatoes are too large, cut them into quarters to ensure even cooking.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the whole garlic cloves and saute them for about 2 minutes or until they are golden brown. Remove the garlic from the skillet and set aside.
Add the halved potatoes to the skillet with the cut side down. Allow them to cook without stirring for about 8-10 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy.
Stir the potatoes gently, then add the fresh rosemary and thyme. Continue to cook for another 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove from the heat and sprinkle the ground black pepper over the potatoes. Toss to ensure even seasoning.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the sauteed potatoes to add a fresh, zesty flavor.
Finish by garnishing the potatoes with chopped parsley.
Serve warm as a delicious side dish or a light standalone meal.
