  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, thyme and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  3. Cut six sheets of foil, about 12-inches long. Divide potatoes into 6 equal portions, about 1 cup per foil packet, and add to the center of each foil in a single layer.
  4. Fold up all 4 sides of each foil packet. Spoon the lemon mixture over the potatoes. Fold the sides of the foil over the potatoes, covering completely and sealing the packets closed.
