Recipe Tips
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of potatoes for this recipe?
Yes, you can use other types of potatoes such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes. Each type will give a slightly different flavor and texture, but they will all work well for roasting.
How should I store leftover garlic roasted potatoes?
Store leftover roasted potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the oven at 180ºC (350ºF) until warmed through and crispy again.
What can I substitute for dried thyme if I don't have it?
If you don't have dried thyme, you can substitute it with other herbs like rosemary or oregano. Fresh herbs can also be used, just remember to use about three times the amount as fresh herbs are less concentrated than dried.
