Provided by Martha Stewart

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds small multicolored potatoes
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 to 6 tablespoons olive oil
6 to 8 sprigs fresh thyme, picked
Sour cream, for serving (optional)
Chopped fresh chives, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Bring potatoes to a boil in a large pot of water generously seasoned with salt. Cook until fork tender, about 8 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
  • Drizzle two rimmed baking sheets with 1 to 2 tablespoons oil each. Arrange potatoes on baking sheet and lightly crush each potato with the heel of your hand until potatoes are about ½ inch thick. Brush potatoes with remaining oil. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with thyme. Roast, turning halfway through baking time, until golden and crisp, about 25 minutes.
  • Serve with sour cream and chives, if desired.
