Potatoes with Olive Oil and Thyme

There are some things I miss about not eating dairy foods and one is the good old potato bake.  I considered making a dairy-free alternative but knew it just wouldn't be the same.  Instead, my daughter and I came up with something much simpler, much healthier and very yummy as well.

Finely slice some small waxy potatoes, leaving the skin on.  In a small casserole dish pour a good lug of olive oil.  Place a layer of potatoes, some fresh thyme leaves and spray with olive oil spray.  Continue layering the potatoes, thyme and oil adding a sprinkle of salt every other layer.  Pour a little more olive oil on the top layer and then cover and place in a hot oven for about 45 minutes.  Potatoes should be tender at this time, remove the lid and bake another 5 - 10 minutes until crispy on the top.

These potatoes are delicious as a side dish but are also a great treat for lunch on their own too.
