Preheat the oven or barbecue to 400°F.
Wash the potatoes and cut each into 4 wedges.
460 g mini potatoes
Peel and finely dice the garlic.
2 garlic cloves
Rip off two pieces of aluminum foil (about 15 inches long).
Put half the potatoes on each piece of foil. Place them just to the right or left of the halfway point. You will be folding the foil in half lengthwise so the crease should be beside the potatoes. See our video below.

Next, sprinkle the potatoes with salt and pepper, and the diced garlic, and top with fresh thyme.
10 sprigs of fresh thyme, 2 garlic cloves, ¼ tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper
Break the butter up into small pieces using your hand, or if you’re using refrigerated butter cut it into cubes. Spread the butter all over the potatoes and seal the packet shut. Poke a few holes using a fork in the top of the packet.
1 tbsp butter
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or grill on the barbecue for 15 minutes.
Be careful when opening the packets, the steam will be very hot! Serve with your favourite main.
