Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 pounds small potatoes: Red Bliss -- small whites, Yukon
Gold, Yellow Finns,
or Fingerling potatoes
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic -- peeled and finely
minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flatleaf parsley
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to
taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Leaving their skins on, scrub the potatoes with a brush to remove any dirt
or blemishes. Dry the potatoes with paper towels or a cloth. Leave whole,
cut in half or in quarters, depending on the size of the potatoes. Pour the
olive oil into a roasting pan or large cast iron skillet and heat in a 350
degree oven for ten minutes before adding the potatoes. Roast the potatoes
for 45 minutes, until crisp. Shake the pan several times during cooking, so
that the potatoes roll around to brown evenly. Remove from the oven. Drain
the potatoes on paper towels or a cloth to absorb the excess oil, then place
in a serving dish.
In a saute pan, melt the butter, add the garlic, and saute until light
goldenbrown. Add the chopped herbs to the garlic butter, stir together
quickly, and remove from the heat. Pour the garlic herb butter over the
potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and serve.
