What you need:
5 lb bag of Red Potatoes
1 Yellow Sweet Onion
1 Garlic Bulb (Broken down and press the cloves between the table and blade of a knife)
3 TBSP Olive Oil
Fresh Rosemary Stems
Salt & Pepper
How you do it:
Preheat oven to 450*
Cut potatoes in halve lengthwise then again to make a wedge. If its a larger potato you may need to repeat this.
Cut onion into large pieces by cutting it root to stem, then cutting horizontally. Break apart some layers
In a large bowl mix olive oil, garlic cloves and microwave for 1 minute to get some flavor from garlic.
Toss olive oil, garlic, rosemary together and place potatoes of a baking tray
**If you want you can also toss some lemon juice and zest in to brighten the flavor up**
Season with salt and pepper and place in the oven for about 45 minutes or until soft
Why it's good:
Ok, so it looks more complicated then it really is. Heat the oven, cut onion and potatoes, toss in olive oil and seasonings then bake. The 45 minutes gives you time to make grilled chicken or fish which would go great with these. Obviously a family of 5 won't need 5 lbs of potatoes but I made these for a BBQ and 5 lbs was plenty for 20 people and the bag was only $4.99. If you're making them for a family, I would say 3 or 4 potatoes would be plenty and then you just use less garlic. They are warm and toasty, crispy on the outside and soft and buttery in the middle. The garlic and rosemary are aromatic and if you use lemon, which I would, it adds a little brightness. If you have infused oils then by all means use them. I use a White Truffle Olive Oil and it's YUMMY, but my husband likes a chili pepper oil when he make them.
