I like to use Rosemary rather than thyme, not a huge fan of thyme but that's personal taste, other than I do them in a very similar way to you, probably boil them for a little bit less time but I also like smaller roasties so that probably balances itself out

Interesting, I used to just boil them for a few minutes until someone advised me to boil them longer. I'm not sure if it made much difference but it became a habit

the reason you boil them first is to get rid of the starch which makes them crispier on the outside. Boiling is also what results in a fluffy centre

…it’s not just the boiling, it’s the shaking that makes all of the fluffy bits happen that go crisp…just to add to all of the other boil times, I’m an exactly 8 minute gal…not a second more, not a second less…utter bliss as Arista would say…

If my family wants a house left in tact then it's best to keep me away from the cooking.
