Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F.Wash and dry all produce. Strip 2 tsp (4 tsp) thyme leaves from stems, then finely chop. Peel, then cut potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. Add potatoes, 2 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1 inch) to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Simmer uncovered until fork-tender, 10-12 min.

Return the same pan to medium-high. Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then mirepoix. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies soften slightly, 2-3 min. Add half the thyme. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec.
