What is the substitute for Thyme?
Personally I wouldn’t use it in potato salad. However that’s not what you asked, the closest is oregano. Italian Seasoning has thyme in it. Parsley would give the nice green apperance without much flavor either good or bad. But really don’t sweat it, use what you have. Probably nobody will notice. Take the lid off your spices and smell them when you smell one you like add some. If you don’t like the smell you probably won’t like the taste and it doesn’t matter if the recipie calls for it or not. Think of a recipie as a suggestion, a guideline till you get more practice cooking. I bet your guests are coming to see you not see if you can make potato salad according to some recipie. Don’t forget to relax and enjoy your company.
