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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut them into quarters.
Step 3
Peel and mince the garlic cloves as finely as possible.
Step 4
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Tear off 4 large sheets of parchment paper, each approximately 15x15 inches.
Step 6
Divide the potatoes evenly among the parchment sheets, placing them in the center of each sheet.
Step 7
Drizzle the butter and garlic mixture evenly over the potatoes in each sheet.
Step 8
Top each portion of potatoes with 1 sprig of rosemary and 2 sprigs of thyme.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
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.
Step 11
Carefully remove the packets from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before opening.
Step 12
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish or serve directly in the parchment for a rustic presentation. Enjoy!
