Ingredients
- 1 kg potatoes 2.2 pounds
- 3 garlic cloves
- 4 rosemary sprigs
- 5 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash and cut the potatoes first in half, lengthwise, and then in half one more time. From these wedges, cut large pieces of potatoes of about 2 to 3 cm (¾ to 1 inch). Try to get pieces as equal in size as possible so that they are evenly cooked.
- Then put the potatoes in a bowl with cold water for about 15 minutes. This will remove some of the starch.
- While the potatoes are soaking, bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Dip the potatoes and boil them for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and arrange them in a baking dish.
- Drizzle evenly with plenty of extra virgin olive oil. Use a baking dish large enough so that the potatoes do not overlap.
- Add the whole, peeled and lightly crushed garlic cloves. Finally, add the rosemary needles, a little fine salt and some ground black pepper.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for about 40 minutes.
- While baking, it's a good idea to shake the baking dish several times to stir without breaking them and thus prevent the potatoes from sticking to the bottom.
