When the potatoes were steaming and freshly mashed, I added a generous sprinkling of the spices that were still on the counter from the pork roast. We all really liked these potatoes and they were an awesome match for the juicy herb rubbed pork roast. Rich with butter and cream, aromatic and seasoned very simply with salt, pepper and thyme. These thyme potatoes were simply delicious. Mashed potatoes are always a favorite for our family, but this was a step above the average.
