Roast New Potatoes
Best if you can find REAL new potatoes, not just small potatoes mislabeled
Use a baking dish that will hold all the whole potatoes tightly packed in. If potatoes are large cut into halves or quarters.
Drizzle with some good olive oil.
Salt and pepper to taste (really good with coarse sea salt)
You can use as many bulbs of garlic that you want. I usually use 2 for about 6-8 potatoes. Separate the garlic into individual cloves. Do not peel the garlic. Cover the potatoes totally with the cloves making sure that you put them into every space between the potatoes that you can. Cram them in there.
Add a bit more oil and salt and pepper.
Roast at 350 degrees about 30-45 minutes depending on size of potatoes and your oven. Check to see if more olive oil is necessary as they roast.
To serve just place potatoes on a plate with the unpeeled garlic cloves. Using your fingers squish the garlic out of their skins, mash it a bit and put on a chunk of potato and enjoy. What you are eating is roasted garlic on a potato.
This dish will make your whole house smell like garlic. I don't know about you, but I LOVE that smell.
