Almond Thyme Roast Potatoes

Almond Thyme Roast Potatoes are something you need in your life. The recipe is extremely simple to throw together. However, crunchy almonds and fragrant fresh thyme add big flavor. Furthermore, if you still have leftover potatoes, herbs, and nuts from the holidays, here is your chance to use them up.

Firstly, boil small yellow potatoes in salted water for 20 minutes. Let them cool for 10 minutes. Then, easily pull off the skins. Secondly, heat clarified butter or ghee in a large skillet until sizzling. Add the potatoes and brown on all sides. Thirdly, toss the crisped potatoes with chopped raw almonds and fresh thyme leaves. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. The dish is done.

Serve Almond Thyme Roast Potatoes as a side dish to a chicken, beef, or pork dinner. This dish also pairs perfectly paired with a crispy green side salad. Additionally, for a next-level tasting experience, spike some sour cream with lemon juice and freshly grated lemon zest and serve it with these potatoes. Trust me. you will not be sorry.

A great feature of this recipe is how easy it is to swap out the ingredients. Fry the potatoes in olive oil and the recipe becomes vegan. Swap out the chopped almonds for pecans, walnuts, sunflower seeds, or pistachios. Trade the fresh thyme for fresh chopped rosemary, basil, or oregano. Mix and match the nuts and herbs to your liking. Or, use a few different varieties of nuts and herbs at the same time.
