Recipe Ingredients
For the Potatoes:
- 3 pounds small Yellow or Red Potatoes
- ¼ cup Garlic Olive Oil
- 1 tablespoon Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme, chopped (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh Rosemary, chopped (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley, chopped

- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- ¾ cup Herbs de Provence Olive Oil
- 1 or 2 tablespoons Harissa (optional for spice)
Recipe Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes:
- Start by cutting the potatoes in half or bite size if they are too large. Place the potatoes in a pot of cold water with a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender but not mushy. Drain and let them cool on a cookie sheet to prevent them from becoming soggy.
Preheat Oven to 350°F (175°C)
- In a bowl, large enough to add the potatoes, mix olive oil, garlic, thyme, rosemary, parsley, salt, and pepper. Toss the cooled potatoes in the mixture.
- Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes until fragrant.
Prepare the Aioli Sauce: (optional)
Makes about 1 cup
- In a bowl whisk together, Dijon mustard, egg, garlic, and very, very slowly add olive oil until smooth. When you have the consistency of mayonnaise, add Harissa if you want a spicy kick.
- Serve the potatoes warm with the aioli on the side. Enjoy!
