These potatoes are delicious and are now on my “favorites” list of clean eating side dishes! I made them tonight for dinner and they are extremely simple and quick to make. These Crispy Garlic New Potatoes make for a great side dish to any protein-packed main dish.
Some of my potatoes came out only crispy on the edges, and some were incredibly crispy. I think my slices were a bit more than 1/4 inch thick, so be sure if you want the potatoes to be nice and crispy, cut the slices thin enough.
Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic
- Coarse salt (or sea salt if you choose)
- 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 1/2 lbs. red new potatoes sliced in to 1/4 inch slices
Directions
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Finely chop garlic. Sprinkle with salt of choosing.
- Garlic needs to be made into a paste-like consistency, so take the back of a chef’s knife and press the garlic with the flat side of the blade back and forth until garlic is a paste. (I also used a garlic press first and then used the blade back as directed above). Place garlic in a small bowl.
- Add thyme and olive oil to garlic paste.
- Place potatoes on a large rimmed baking sheet and toss the potatoes with the garlic mixture. **
- Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until the potatoes are browned on the underside.
** I knew I would make a total mess by trying to toss the garlic mixture and the potatoes on my baking sheet, so I actually put everything in a gallon Ziploc bag, sealed it, and tossed them that way. Much less messy for me, I’m sure!
Oh my those sounds so yummy. I will have to try them sometime. Thanks for the recipe and tip to put in the Ziploc.
Hi Jennifer,
Sorry for mixing you up with Tosca Reno on my blog (not a bad comparison, though
This recipe looks great. My kids will love it!
No problem! And no, not a bad comparison AT ALL – I’m flattered
Definitely try these – my kids loved them, and I even have a picky eater.
The Crispy Garlic New Potatoes are fantastic! I have made them several times now and my whole family loves them too. A nice addition to any meal!
Any ideas of what to go with the potatoes, preferably using chicken breast?
Thanks!
Hi Shannon,
Yummm, chicken breasts sound really good and they would go great with these potatoes! I’ve also ate these this summer with grilled fish and a lean cut of steak.
I love your recipes, but wish you would post the servings and nutritional info with them. It would make it so much easier for those of us who are counting calories, fats, etc. Anyway you could do this?
Thanks
Hi Susan,
When I have time to calculate the nutritional info, I do post the nutritional information and I use this for the info: http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-calculator.asp It’s easy to use, so add it to your favorites so that if we happen to not post the nutritional info, you can do it real quick.
Hope this helps!
How many servings does this make. Looks so yummy. I want to make for xmas dinner!
Hi Robin,
It’s 4 servings, but in my opinion, you can get 6 servings out of this recipe.
HTH
I am making this tonight as a side dish with corned beef sandwiches! I can’t wait to try them! They sound both healthy and delicious! I know the corned beef is not healthy, then again it is St. Patrick’s Day!
Hi Robyn,
Thanks for leaving a comment! So what did you think?
And yeah, you MUST have corned beef on St. Patrick’s Day!
