You can’t go wrong with roasted potatoes for a holiday meal. A mix of fresh thyme and nutmeg keeps this version interesting. Our tangy Horseradish-Yogurt Sauce is the perfect accompaniment.

Recipe information

  • Total Time

    40 minutes

    8–10 servings

Ingredients

4 pounds baby Yukon Gold potatoes, halved

2 teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Preparation
