Garlic and Thyme Roasted Baby Purple Potatoes are a flavorful, late autumn side dish. Roasted and then broiled in the oven, these potatoes have a slight crunch on the outside and perfect on the inside.
It’s not too often that we have potatoes. Not that I don’t like them, because honestly, I love them. But I try really hard to eat low carb (check out my low carb recipe blog here!), even though the rest of the family just eats. When I came across this cute pack of baby purple potatoes from Melissa’s Produce the other day at the market, I knew I had to get them. Look at how pretty they are! I’m a sucker for pretty colored produce.
The package is great because it’s only 1.5 pounds, which is a perfect amount for a side dish. I’ve used Melissa’s Produce items before, and I love them because they always have the highest quality and most unique produce. (This post is not sponsored by Melissa’s, I just love them.)
I seasoned this cast iron pan this morning. It belonged to my grandparents and I haven’t used it at all in the few years that I’ve had it. I’ve been scared of cast iron. How weird it that? It’s the care and maintenance that I’m unsure of. Thank goodness for the internet. So I’m going to start using cast iron a lot.

The fresh thyme is from the Scottsdale Old Town Farmer’s Market. Mmmm, I love going there. It was super busy this weekend since it was the last Saturday before Thanksgiving. I’ll fight the crowds for amazing produce and eggs any day.

I have not seen those little purple potatoes for a while. I wonder if I can do your recipe with the little white ones.
Absolutely! All the colors taste the same, as far as I know.
You may laugh, but I have NEVER seen potatoes that look like this. I had no idea they existed. To be honest, they don’t look appealing. 🙂 Glad to know that they are though!
Garlic, Thyme & Olive Oil = The perfect trio!
I love potatoes but don’t have them often because they are so heavy. Purple ones are so awesome and this sounds so good!
How on Earth have I never heard of these before?!!! Ahh; must try.
How yummy. This is definitely something I will need to try. I’m always looking for something new to try.
What a lovely colour – I’ve never seen purple potatoes! This sounds delicious – I love garlic and thyme.
Potatoes are one of my favorite too! My boys don’t like them much, but I bet if I could find some purple potatoes they may give them a try! I’ve never seen them before, but I’ve never really looked for them, either!
I have never tried purple potatoes before. These look like they would be so tasty!
Never tried purple potatoes! They are mouth-watering. Would love to have them and introduce it to my little one as well
This is a new one on me, I have not seen purple potatoes before. they look really yummy and we love garlic so will be giving these a try x
That recipe is really interesting and a little different from anything else. Never seen these purple potatoes before! I would love to try them though.
I remember trying turtle potates when I was younger! This looks so yummy, can’t wait to try them
Ooh…that looks super yummy. I love potatoes and love finding new ways to cook them!
I never even knew that purple potatoes existed. I dont really like them but I have two little boys who would love to try these I’m sure.
