Wine Thyme Potatoes
"Yes, it's wine time again, oops, sorry that should read THYME. This tasty yet easy dish makes a nice accompaniment to any roasted meat, fowl or fish. Make sure you use a wine that you would be willing to drink on it's own as the potatoes will be infused with it's flavor-- an un-drinkable wine delivers unfavorable results."
- Ready In:

- Serves:

4
ingredients
- 600 g potatoes
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- sea salt, to taste
- fresh ground pepper, to taste
- 200 ml dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
directions
- Pre-heat oven to 200°C.
- Peel potatoes, and slice them cross-wise as thinly as possible by hand using a knife (no need to use a processor or mandoline, but do get them as thin as possible).
- Put the potato slices in a large bowl and pour the olive oil over; mix well, insuring all slices are separated and coated with the oil.
- Salt and pepper the potatoes to taste, and again mix well.
- Add the thyme and mix well.
- Place the potatoes in a baking dish (I use a 20 cm by 30 cm, and they bake evenly in this).
- Pour the white wine in the dish and place uncovered in the oven.
- Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the wine has nearly all evaporated and the potatoes become golden and tender (and will begin to crisp somewhat); keep an eye on them the last few minutes because they can crisp quickly at the end.
- Serve warm from the oven.

The savoury flavour of these potatoes went well with sweet carrots & spicy chicken that I served for dinner last nite! I scaled for 2 servings & Sauvignon was my choice of wine. Thanx Minx! -
Really liked these potatoes and will do them again. The wine and thyme go so well and they turned out lovely and brown and crispy on the top and soft and pleasant underneath.

I must say we really enjoyed these potatoes.I cut the recipe down for 2. and made them just like the recipe stated, using Chardonnay Wine. What a nice flavor with the wine & thyme. Thank you so very much for the recipe, I will be making this again.

I am an American married to a Belgian, and have lived in Belgium since December 1999. Cooking is my major hobby. I'm also an avid reader, but I have difficulty finding the time. I love to travel. Since moving to Europe I've been lucky enough to have had the opportunity to go a couple of times per year to Paris, as well as having visited London, Rome, Florence, Naples, Amsterdam, and of course Brussels and Antwerp. I've seen at least parts of most regions of France, as well as parts of Germany, Austria, a great deal of Switzerland, Slovenia, Croatia, Luxembourg, and Monaco. I'm absolutely in love with the Bay of Naples and Sorrento coast areas of Italy, which my husband and I recently re-visited on a trip that included Rome, Puglia, Umbria and Marche. I'm still looking forward to Ireland, Spain, Portugal, the Czech Republic . . . the list is too long ! One of the bonuses of travel is getting to taste the local cuisine, and afterward trying to figure out how to duplicate it at home.
I think cooking is one of the nicest things a person can do for someone they love (including themself!)
I had to submit a picture with me and my cat, Sophie, as she insists on sitting in my lap when I'm sitting at the computer. If you are wondering what all that stuff hanging on the wall behind us in the photo is, it is just a small part of my husband's military medal collection. He was appalled by my posting this picture-- Our study is the messiest room in our house (thank god!)
