Equipment

  • 1 sharp knife and cutting board
  • 1 Boiling Pot
  • 1 Medium Mixing Bowl
  • 1 medium casserole dish
  • 1 slotted spoon

Ingredients

  • 4 russet potatoes
  • 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 5 sprigs thyme

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Peel and cube potatoes. Add potatoes to a pot of boiling water with salt. Boil until potatoes are soft and you can easily stick a fork into it, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Remove potatoes from the water and add to a medium mixing bowl. Cover with tin foil and shake the potatoes in the bowl. This will rough the edges of the surface of the potatoes to help them crisp.
  • Coat the bottom of a large casserole dish in olive oil. Add potatoes to the dish in a single layer. Drizzle a little additional olive oil on top of the potatoes. Add garlic cloves and sprigs of thyme to the casserole dish. Place casserole dish in the oven.
  • Remove potatoes from oven every 15 minutes. Flip potatoes using a fork or a serving spoon. Continue this process for about 1 hour-1 hour 15 minutes or until potatoes are crisp and golden brown all around. Remove garlic cloves and thyme (thyme leaves should have fallen off onto the potatoes and just the stems will be left). Place potatoes in a serving bowl, season with salt and serve immediately or save for later.

Notes

  • save leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-5 days. 
  • reheat leftovers in the air fryer or the oven.
  • leftovers can be frozen for up to 2 months.
