An really tasty and soothing side dish that goes well with a variety of meals is baked garlic butter potatoes. Here’s a quick and tasty recipe for you:
Ingredients:

- One teaspoon of dried thyme (or, if desired, rosemary)
- To taste, add salt and pepper.
- Chop some fresh parsley for garnish (optional).
Guidelines:
- Warm up the oven:
- Set oven temperature to 400°F, or 200°C.
Get the potatoes ready: - After giving the young potatoes a good wash, cut them in

- To coat the potatoes, cut them in half and put them in a big mixing basin. After adding the garlic butter mixture to the potatoes, toss them around to coat them all equally.
- Bake: For easier cleanup, arrange the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet covered with aluminium foil or parchment paper.
- Bake the potatoes for 30 to 35 minutes in a preheated

Serve Warm: Move the potatoes to a platter and enjoy them warm as a delectable accompaniment to your preferred main entrée.
