Quick and Easy Thyme Baby Potatoes:

Quick and Easy Thyme Baby Potatoes:

1 1/2 lb. baby potatoes (about 1” diameter), washed

3 to 4 tbsp. water

2 tbsp. butter (or more; adjust to your preference)

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

1/4 tsp. black pepper

3/4 tsp. salt

1 tbsp. fresh thyme leaves or 1 tsp. dried

2 tsp. lemon juice (optional)

Poke each potato with a pointed knife to prevent bursting while cooking. Cut in half if greater than 1 1/2” in diameter. Place in a large microwavable bowl with a lid. Add 2 tablespoons water. Cover with with one corner of the lid slightly loose to vent. Microwave on high for 3 minutes (for 1200 Watt microwave oven. Increase cooking time 1 minute or so for lower wattage microwaves). Remove and mix potatoes to promote even cooking. Add 1 tbsp. or so water if almost dry. Cover and microwave 3 minutes.

Drain liquid. Add butter, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and thyme. Mix well. Cover and microwave for 3 minutes or until knife or toothpick slides in easily. Drizzle with lemon juice and mix to incorporate. Makes 4 servings.
