Garlic Potatoes
Description
The preparation begins by preheating the oven to 400°F. Thin slices of peeled potatoes, ideally cut to 1/8 inch thickness and kept together, are arranged in a round pattern in a butter-coated cast iron skillet. Unpeeled garlic cloves, with their hard ends removed and crushed, are tucked between the potato slices to release aroma during baking. The potatoes are brushed with melted butter and seasoned with salt and black pepper before baking for 30 to 40 minutes until tender and golden brown.
Using unpeeled garlic cloves infused the potatoes with a gentler garlic flavor as they roast, while the butter ensures richness and helps achieve a golden crust on the edges. The thin slicing allows the potatoes to cook uniformly without becoming dry.
These garlic potatoes make a versatile accompaniment for poultry, meat, or lamb dishes. Optionally, thyme or rosemary garnish can be added to complement the chosen protein. They bring a soft texture with mild crispiness on the outside and a fragrant garlic aroma.
