The oven-baked sliced potatoes with garlic and thyme are a simple, crispy and aromatic side dish perfect for accompanying many meals.
At my house, and I repeat myself, potatoes are always a hit: whether mashed into a silky purée with a pinch of nutmeg, simply boiled and tossed with finely chopped parsley, or oven-roasted, they often appear on our plates and never fail to please.
This version, with the potatoes sliced, seasoned with garlic and scented with thyme, is a straightforward but really tasty side dish — ideal to bring to the table when I want something crunchy and flavorful without too much effort.
These roasted potatoes flavored with garlic and thyme are very versatile: they pair wonderfully with roasted meats, chicken or grilled steaks, but they are equally great alongside an oven-baked fish such as gilt-head bream or sea bass, or a simple salmon fillet.
They also work perfectly with a cheese board of mixed cheeses or a vegetarian plate, because their aroma and crispy crust go well with any course.

- to taste pepper
Tools

Procedure
So then… I wash the potatoes well, dry them, and then slice them about 1 cm thick (about 3/8 inch).
With a very sharp knife I make small diamond-shaped cuts on them so they cook faster and become even crispier!
I line the baking tray with parchment paper and arrange the slices without overlapping, in a single layer, neatly spaced.
In a small bowl or a glass I mix oil, salt and pepper and also the garlic, very finely chopped by knife or in a mixer.
I brush the potato slices with this tasty emulsion and add a few fresh thyme leaves as well.
All that remains is to bake in a preheated conventional oven at 392°F for about 25–30 minutes, taking care to flip the slices halfway through the cooking time.
Now that they are tender and juicy, I serve the oven-baked sliced potatoes with garlic and thyme at the table.

Tips
If you don’t like thyme, substitute it with rosemary or sage.
If you want even more flavor and crunch, do you know what you can do? Add a little grated Parmesan in the last minutes of cooking and you’ll love it!!
