1 hour total (Active 20 minutes)

Ingredients

  • 24 petite red potatoes (about 3 lb)
  • 8 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 12 cloves fresh peeled garlic, finely chopped
  • 3 teaspoons fresh thyme, coarsely chopped and divided
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
  • 3 tablespoons black pepper (or plain) mayonnaise
  • 1 ½ tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

Steps

    1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Place potatoes in large microwave-safe dish (or bowl); cover and microwave on HIGH for 12–15 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork. Coat 2 baking sheets with 1 tablespoon each oil. Chop garlic (2 tablespoons) and thyme.
    2. Arrange potatoes on baking sheets (3 inches apart); press lightly with potato masher, leaving potatoes somewhat intact. Combine remaining 6 tablespoons oil, garlic, 2 teaspoons thyme, salt, and pepper; brush mixture evenly onto potatoes. Bake 20–25 minutes or until browned and crisp.
    3. Combine mayonnaise and water; whisk thoroughly. Transfer potatoes to serving platter; drizzle with mayo mixture and balsamic glaze. Top with remaining 1 teaspoon thyme; serve.
