Garlic and rosemary roast potatoes

Serves: 12

Cooking Time: 1 hr 20 mins

Ingredients

2,5kg potatoes, peeled and halved
vegetable oil, to fry
2 whole garlic heads, separated and unpeeled
handful fresh rosemary sprigs
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Place the potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil until just tender but still a bit firm. Drain the water off, place the lid on the pot and shake the pot once or twice to fluff the potatoes up on the outside. Spread out on a large baking sheet and allow to cool.

When you’re almost ready to serve, preheat the oven to 200°C and preheat a large baking tray (or two if necessary) with about 1cm oil in the bottom. When the oil is hot, carefully place the potatoes, garlic, rosemary and seasoning in the trays, leaving enough space in between so the potatoes can roast. Return to the oven and roast until golden and crunchy, about 40 minutes, turning every 15 – 20 minutes.
