GARLIC ROAST POTATOES


YOU WILL NEED:

6 Cloves of Garlic
4 Large Potatoes
Olive oil
Salt
Ground black pepper
125g  (half a block) Butter

I know it seems a lot of garlic and butter, trust me.

Peel and cut potatoes into the amount and size needed.  This recipe will work regardless of sizes.
Put these on to boil in slightly salted water. We don't want these to cook throughout, just to soften on the outside.

Meanwhile put your oven on about gas 5. Now into an ovenproof dish obviously large enough for potatoes put in a glug of olive oil and butter, place into the oven until butter is melted. The oil is there to prevent the butter from burning and to prevent the Garlic going bitter and nasty.

When your potatoes have begun softening remove and strain the water.

By this time the butter will be melted and the oil has prevented it burning. mix this together.
Finely grate the cloves of garlic into the mixture. Add the potatoes. Ensuring the potatoes have been covered in garlic butter, add a sprinkle of salt and black pepper.

Place back into the oven and cook until browned on the edges or as crispy has you like.


This can be adapted to small whole potatoes leaving the skins on, the process is the same.

I'm quite happy to be able to share this recipe, its been long awaited for by many.

Enjoy!
