Ingredients

1 quart water
2 pounds small red skin potatoes, quartered
1 tablespoon, extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons, 5 or 6 sprigs, fresh thyme, leaves stripped and chopped

Directions

In a deep, medium skillet, bring water to a boil. Add quartered potatoes and simmer 12 minutes, until fork tender. Begin other recipes in your menu.

Drain potatoes in a colander set over a pot. Allow the stock to cool and refrigerate for another use. Return the pan you cooked the potatoes in to heat over medium high. Add extra-virgin olive oil and butter, then, when butter melts add potatoes. Season potatoes with salt, pepper and chopped thyme. Coat and brown the potatoes, turning only occasionally, 7 or 8 minutes.

Good Potatoes
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I love red skin potatoes, next time I make this dish I won't put the entire amount of thyme that the recipe calls for. Will... make this dish again.Read more

Both my daughter & husband loved the potatoes. My daughter who is not a big eater had a couple of helpings.Read more

Tasty!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Easy and tasty. I had some larger red potatoes hanging around and needed to make something with Barefoot Countessa's Turkey... Meatloaf recipe. These were great. I could not get fresh dried thyme at the store- all out- so I used the spice rack variety (powdered) and it worked fine. Mine were not turning as brown and the stuff in the pan was almost burning so I had to turn the heat to low and I still didn't see that they were browning as hers but it was fine anyway. Easy dinner side dish- fed 5 with some to spare and I had a little less than 5lb.Read more

Pretty good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I would recommend tossing with more olive oil, but otherwise delicious. A great side dish with good flavor.
