I had a few small red potatoes left over from dinner earlier in the week, so I decided to make thyme roasted potatoes. All I did was cut the potatoes in quarters and sprinkled with salt, pepper, and thyme. Drizzled on some olive oil and roasted in a 400 degree oven for about 20 minutes, shaking the pan once halfway through cooking to make sure the potatoes weren't sticking.
I bought some corn on the cob earlier in the week (a little early in the season for corn, but I couldn't wait) so I thought that would be the perfect accompaniment to the potatoes.
It was so yummy! The potatoes got crispy on the outside and had a wonderful flavor from the thyme. And the corn - how can you go wrong with corn on the cob? We paired the meal with some sweet iced tea with lemon balm from the garden which made everything taste even better. This is my favorite kind of meal.
What did you cook up this weekend? Did it include anything from your garden?

I am dying for fresh corn as well - looks like such a delicious meal Tammy! We were still in the low 50s this past weekend but this morning is sunny and should be in the mid 60s! I can hardly believe it! It's a great way to start the week! Windows wide open!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so yummy and cant wait for all this good summer stuff. Will be here before we know it.
ReplyDeleteWow, those potatoes look great! I will have to try this.
ReplyDeleteYummy I love me some potatoes!!
ReplyDeleteYum!! Looks delicious. We have fresh thyme growing back in so I will have to try this!
ReplyDeleteNot only does this meal look delicious, but I am so impressed with your ingenuity too! Our garden is coming along, and in a few more weeks the herbs will be ready to harvest. I'm really looking forward to fresh herbs again!! Oh, and then there is my monstrous rhubarb...;)
ReplyDeleteMMmmm....those potatoes look delicious, and just what was needed to refuel!
ReplyDeleteThis looks SOOOOO yummy! I want to get some tomatoes and herbs planted this week. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious! Our temperatures are finally getting into the upper 60's and I can't wait to get out and get the gardens cleaned up!
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is Yum!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love potatoes just about any way they are cooked. I am going to have to try your thyme recipe :-)
ReplyDeleteYum! and that corn looks pretty good, also!
ReplyDeletePotatoes from the garden are an absolute favorite. Spend any time digging down there and we're sure to turn up a few. Can't wait until the parsley is back so we can do potatoes with parsley and goat cheese again! Stevie@ruffledfeathersandspilledmilk.com
ReplyDeleteTammy, I think we were on the same page. I used herbs in my cooking on Sunday too. I often do these potatoes with thyme and rosemary. Can't go wrong either way. I never mind Spring cleaning the herb garden. The scent is so rewarding. Your lunch looks delicious! I will be posting my dish tomorrow.
ReplyDeletehugs,

Sounds and looks delicious, Tammy..
ReplyDeleteOh boy do these sound fantastic! And that corn? It looks absolutely mouth-watering!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely summer meal! I want to learn more tips for using fresh herbs, so I love this and will try it!
ReplyDeleteThe garden is finally tilled, now that we have good weather!
ReplyDeleteOh gracious, those taters sound AWESOME! Will definitely have to try thyme and potatoes in the not-so-distant future, thanks to you!
ReplyDeleteThat looks wonderful...corn on the cob is my favorite...we don't have any here yet. Our veggies are coming in very well...we have been able to eat romaine and red lettuce everyday and curly kale too. We went to the farmer's market and got squaw bread...made a kale, lettuce, sprouts, tomato, cucumber, avocado and walnut sandwich today...oh Yum...tonight we made asparagus soup because it is now asparagus season year...yippee! Have a great day!!
ReplyDeleteTammy, this looks so good. I always make roasted potatoes.. they are perfect with everything!

I haven't seen fresh corn on the cob in the store yet, but if I do, I'm snatching it up too. Early schmearly. :)
ReplyDeleteYammi! Can I come for lunch?
ReplyDeleteYum, yum!! The potatoes look perfect and thyme is one of my very favorite herbs! :)
ReplyDeleteWe're getting in Florida's Candycorn also. It's the BEST corn on the cob in the world. You have the best meal on your plate!! New potatoes and candycorn on the cob! ENJOY!!
ReplyDeleteIt WAS a georgous weekend and your lunch sounds (and looks) so yummy!!!
ReplyDeleteOur weekend was so beautiful too! I did grill asparagus and loved how they came out! Enjoy the remaining of the week, Tammy!
ReplyDeleteMmm... those potatoes look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious. I love corn on the cob!
ReplyDeleteNothing yet from the non-existent garden... we're supposed to get some snow this week! Yikes. Yummy duo, Tammy!
ReplyDeleteThe corn looks so good!!! So beautiful! I almost licked the computer screen!! ;D
ReplyDeleteYum. I love those kind of meals too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect meal!!
ReplyDeleteMmmm....looks and sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteLooks and sounds delicious! Amazingly enough I did use dried thyme from my garden and also some pickled beets :) I am so anxious for fresh corn. When our corn comes up in the garden we eat it right off the cob while standing in the garden. I love it! :) I cannot wait to fill up on good corn!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so delicious Tammy. I think I'm going to try it with some sweet potatoes tonight and headed out to the farm stand to get me some sweet corn that they just got in from Georgia. Can't wait til' it's native but I need a little taste of summer cause we're still having snow here....supposed to get another 2-4 inches tomorrow. So I figured if we still have to deal with the cold and the snow a little longer it doesn't mean I can't have summer on the dinner table tonight. I love your photos and especially the ones of your flowers that you picked. Oh I can't wait.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so appetising. Thanks for sharing this with me.
ReplyDeleteI make oven roasted potatoes.. never have with thyme. I'll have to try it. Thanks for sharing with us at Eco-Kids Tuesday!! Hope you come link up again today!
