Delicious tasty potato rolls herbed with thyme simply melt in the mouth when eaten. I have always wanted to bake the potatoes with butter, but was somehow was never upto doing them with the fear of tasting something herbless and spice less.

I asked a few friends around, and they gave a few fried varieties of potatoes snacks. I wanted to make it for a New Year party and had to have a kick to go with cocktails. I came up with these deliciously tasting potatoes served with a spicy Tomato Chilli Garlic Asian Dip. Best of all, it was baked.

The Result -It was a big hit, all was over in the first round of drinks and all we could do was dream for more.

Try the healthy tasty baked potatoes herbed with thyme; you will fall in love with it. You can add any other herb of your choice like coriander, mint, basil, dill, rosemary etc.
