Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 2lbs Yukon Gold Potatoes, quartered length wise (you can also use red or russet potatoes if it is your preference)
- 3 tbsp of olive oil (I prefer olive oil over vegetable oil but you can use vegetable oil if needed)
- 3 sprigs fresh rosemary, stems removed, chopped finely
- 6 whole garlic cloves, with the peel on
- 2 tsp French sea salt (you can also use kosher salt)
- 2 tbsp Herbes de Provence (a French blend of rosemary, thyme, oregano and summer savory)
Instructions
- 1
Finely chop the rosemary. Make a knife point incision into the cloves of garlic with the peel on (this creates a pocket of steam to make for the most perfect roasted garlic)

First, parboil the potatoes for 10 minutes. In a sauce pan with salted cold water add the potatoes, peel on and bring to a boil. Start the timer when the water starts to boil.

Once the 10 minutes are up - use the knife test to try the potatoes. Using a sharp knife, pointing downwards into a potato. The knife should pierce the potato easily but still be stuck in the potato.

Strain. Strain, then put the potatoes back in the pot on the stove over medium high heat so that the potatoes dry out. This only takes about a minute.

Turn off the heat and then toss the potatoes with the olive oil, rosemary, salt and herbes de Provence. Ensure all the potatoes are well coated.
- 6
Lay the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- 7
Randomly place the pierced, skin on garlic cloves around the pan.
- 8
Roast for 40 minutes, flipping the potatoes over half way through, making sure to mix the garlic in as well.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Make sure everyone gets a clove of garlic in their plate!
