Garlic and Rosemary Roasted New Potatoes

This accompaniment is very easy with practically no effort involved! You can use any waxy potato.

Ingredients

• 3-5 new potatoes per person
• 3-4 cloves of garlic
• 2-3 sprigs of rosemary, cut into 3cm lengths
• 3-4 big glugs of olive oil
• Salt and pepper

Serves 4-6

 

Instructions

• Pre-heat the oven to 190 degrees
• Wash and scrub the potatoes, and cut the larger ones in half (mine tend to be 3-4 cm across)
• Using the flat of a cleaver or a rolling pin, bash the cloves of garlic once to break, but leave in the skin
• Bash the rosemary springs to bruise them slightly
• Add the potatoes, garlic and rosemary to a roasting dish and season generously with salt and ground black pepper (it doesn't matter if the potatoes are not all in a single layer). Pour over 3-4 big glugs of olive oil and stir to mix.
• Roast the potatoes for 20-25 minutes depending on the size. Stir them periodically to brown evenly

Halfway through cooking, turn the potatoes

• When the potatoes are cooked through, remove from the heat and serve immediately
