This Thyme Pommes Anna is hands down my most favorite potato side dish. My grandma used to make this all the time and I would get so excited every time she did! I mean, what is better than potatoes layered in butter. And I am determined that thyme is the best herb to go with potatoes. Every time I can, I am putting thyme on my potatoes. Guys, thyme + potatoes is like peanut butter + jelly. It’s just meant to be. Next time you are craving a side of potatoes, please, please make these ones.

Love this simple but incredibly elegant dish. It’s one that I adore on its own or as a side dish with poultry or meat.
It’s true! You can eat it so many ways, as a side dish or main course! It’s one of my very favorites.
