Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme chopped
- 2 pound baby potatoes cut in half
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon pepper or to taste
Instructions
- In a large 12 inch skillet heat the olive oil and butter until melted over medium heat.
- When the oil is hot, add the chopped thyme, and stir. This will help infuse the thyme aroma into the oil.
- Arrange the potatoes in the skillet, with the cut side down and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes or until the potatoes are brown and crisp.
- Turn the potatoes over and cover the skillet with a lid. Continue cooking over medium heat for another 8 to 10 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove from skillet and serve.

Notes
- I used a Lodge brand cast iron skillet for this recipe.
- You can store your thyme potatoes for up to 1 week in a sealed airtight container. Cooked potatoes also freeze really well too! If you store them in an airtight container they will last in the freezer from 10 - 12 months.
