This doubly good side dish has twice the flavor from two kinds of potatoes, not to mention a third virtue...a colorful presentation!

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 pound sweet potatoes (yams), unpeeled, cut into 2-inch chunks

1 pound baking potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 2-inch chunks

3 tablespoons thinly sliced garlic

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup chopped parsley

2. Pour oil onto a baking sheet; heat for 5 minutes.
3. Add both types of potatoes and garlic, turning to coat.
4. Bake, shaking pan every 15 minutes, until potatoes are brown and crisp, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
