2. Toss new baby potatoes in a bowl with oil and salt. Transfer cast iron skillet or baking sheet. Roast in preheated oven for about 30 minutes.
3. When potatoes are almost finished roasting, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until garlic is soft and fragrant, but not browned. Turn off heat under pan. Add parsley and thyme. Stir to combine. Add Gourmet Inspirations Lemon Sauce.
Drizzle over potatoes and continue cooking for 10-15 min, to allow sauce to glaze onto potatoes.
