At my house, and I’m repetitive, potatoes are always favored: whether they’re mashed with a pinch of nutmeg, simply boiled and garnished with finely chopped parsley, or baked, they often end up on our plates and always bring us into agreement.
This version, with sliced potatoes, seasoned with garlic and scented with thyme, is a simple yet truly tasty side dish, perfect to serve whenever I want something crispy and flavorful without too much effort.
These baked potatoes with garlic and thyme are a really versatile side dish: they pair excellently with roast meats, chicken, or grilled steaks, but they also go well with baked fish (sea bream or bass) or a simple salmon fillet.
Even with a cheese board like we enjoy or a vegetarian dish, they remain perfect, because their aroma and crispy crust pair divinely with any course!

Always on the THEME of potato recipes, I leave you other preparations just below:
- Difficulty: Very easy
- Cost: Very inexpensive
- Preparation time: 10 Minutes
- Portions: 4People
- Cooking methods: Oven
- Cuisine: Italian
- Seasonality: All seasons
Ingredients
- 5 potatoes (medium/large)
- 2 cloves garlic (whole or minced as you like)
- as needed extra virgin olive oil
- as needed thyme (preferably fresh but if not… dried!)
- as needed salt
- as needed pepper
Tools
- Knives
- Baking Trays
Procedure
Well, well… I wash the potatoes thoroughly, dry them, and then slice them about 0.4 inches thick.
With a nice sharp paring knife, I score them in small diamonds so they cook faster and become even crispier!
I line the baking tray with parchment paper and arrange the slices without overlapping, placing them neatly in a single layer.
In a small bowl or glass, I mix oil, salt, and pepper, along with very finely chopped garlic either with a knife or in a food processor.
I brush the potato slices with this tasty emulsion and also add a few fresh thyme leaves.
I just need to bake them in a preheated static oven at 392°F for about 25/30 minutes, making sure to turn the slices halfway through cooking.
Now that they are tender and succulent, I serve the sliced baked potatoes with garlic and thyme at the table.
