Garlic Rosemary Roast Potatoes

You won't have any leftovers with these beauties. Guaranteed. No matter how many I cook, they always get eaten!



















Ingredients
  • 1-2 medium potatoes per person
  • A couple of sprigs of fresh rosemary
  • 3-4 cloves of garlic peeled and coarsely chopped
  • olive oil

Directions
1. Put pan of water to boil and pre-heat the oven to 400F (200C); put a roasting tray in the oven

2. Chop the potatoes into bite-size chunks (I leave the skin on, 'cause its both tasty and healthy)

3. Put potatoes into the boiling water; bring back to boil and cook for 5 minutes













4. Drain the potatoes













5. In the sauce pan (still hot from the potatoes), heat a little olive oil; add garlic and rosemary and fry for 1 minute; add salt and pepper















6. Add the potatoes and mix well














7. Add a little olive oil to the pre-heated roasting tray and add the potatoes









8. Spread evenly on the roasting tray and place in the oven

9. Cook for.. I dunno, at least 40 mins usually. If you have a convection oven, turn it on for some of the cooking time to crisp the potatoes a little bit; If your other dishes are taking longer, simply turn oven down to keep potatoes warm.

10. Serve alongside something grilled - like lamb chops!
