Butter-Garlic Potatoes

I am trying out this Butter-Garlic potatoes to serve as a side dish to compliment my whole chicken baked with few simple spices.

Ingredients:

250g. baby potatoes

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tbsp. butter

1 tbsp. olive oil

1/2 tbsp. garlic (minced)

5 garlic cloves (peeled and leave it whole)

1/2 tbsp. dried thyme (can add less depending on your liking)

1/4 tsp. chili flakes

Some chopped coriander

Salt and pepper (to taste)

Methods:

1. Wash potatoes, leave skin on and cut into 1/2" pieces.  In a pan, bring water to a boil, place the potatoes with 1/2 tsp. salt, and simmer for 7-10 minutes.
2. Drain potatoes and set aside to dry thoroughly.
3. In a saucepan with medium heat, melt butter with olive oil.  Cook minced garlic and whole garlic cloves for 2 minutes.  Add potatoes and thyme, and move the pan around to fully coat the potatoes.  Cook until they become crispy on the sides.
4. Transfer onto a baking dish to the preheated oven of 200 degree Celsius and roast for 10-15 minutes.
5. Remove the baking dish from the oven; sprinkle chili flakes and chopped coriander over the top; and serve warm.
