Accordion Potatoes

For seriously satisfying spuds, try these vitamin-rich reds. Creamier than russets and lower in starch, all they need is a drizzle of olive oil before roasting; sprinkle with parsley and thyme and serve.
Ingredients
accordion potatoes
8 large (8 ounces each) red potatoes
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 tsp chopped fresh thyme leaves

Directions
Preheat oven to 450 F. Carefully slice each potato thinly without cutting all the way through.

Place potatoes on microwave-safe dish and cover with waxed paper. Cook in microwave on High 12 to 15 minutes or until easily pierced with tip of knife.

Transfer potatoes to metal baking pan. Carefully drizzle oil between slices. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 tea­spoon coarsely ground black pepper. Roast in oven 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer potatoes to platter; sprinkle with herbs.

    I am looking for the recipe for buttered roasted garlic that I saw on Mr. Food because my son-in-law is ill. I knew garlic was a good antioxidant – I am in a hurry to get this off and try the recipe – would instant potatoes work in a pinch? I do not know whether or not we have any red potatoes. I love your site and please do not publish this if there are any misspelled words. I will never live it down because I am a perfectionist and have a very advanced graduate degree. Also my ex-students follow me on Facebook (I love them) but do not want to show my ignorance or lack of intelligence in front of them.
