By linda1949

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
• 3 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
• 1 (3 lb.) bag red potatoes
• 6 tablespoons Extra Light Olive Oil, divided
• 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan Cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Chop thyme and chives.

Place one-half of the potatoes in a microwave-safe dish and cover; microwave on High for 10-12 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork. Repeat with remaining potatoes.

Coat two baking sheets with 2 tablespoons oil; place potatoes on baking sheet (3 inches apart), press lightly with potato masher (leaving somewhat intact).

Drizzle remaining 4 tablespoons oil over potatoes, season with salt, pepper and herbs. Bake 15-20 minutes or until edges are browned and crispy. Sprinkle with cheese and serve.
