ROASTED POTATOES WITH GARLIC

Roasted Potatoes with Garlic

Roast 2 heads of garlic, press out garlic, and discard skins. Then make a paste, by adding 4 ½ tsp olive oil, coarse salt and ground pepper. Mash with back of a spoon until smooth.

Slice 4 potatoes crosswise into one inch pieces. Spread a generous amount of paste on each slice. Reassemble each potato pressing halves together. Set the potato on a piece of foil, drizzle with 1 tsp olive oil, coarse salt and pepper to taste. Wrap potato tightly in foil, repeat with all potatoes.

Bake potatoes in a roasting pan or on a baking sheet until they are soft and have a caramelized roasted-garlic crust on the bottom, about 1 hour and 10 minutes.
