You can’t go wrong with roasted potatoes for a holiday meal. A mix of fresh thyme and nutmeg keeps this version interesting. Our tangy Horseradish-Yogurt Sauce is the perfect accompaniment.

Recipe information

  • Total Time

    40 minutes

  • Yield

    8–10 servings

Ingredients

4 pounds baby Yukon Gold potatoes, halved
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon chopped thyme leaves
2 teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Horseradish-Yogurt Sauce (for serving; optional)

Preparation

  1. Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 450°F. Toss potatoes with oil, thyme, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a large bowl until coated.
