INGREDIENTS
1 kg potatoes (Yukon Gold or Maris Pipers), cut into cubes
6 cloves garlic
5 sprigs rosemary
½ cup olive oil
INSTRUCTIONS
- Begin by washing and slicing the potatoes.
- Place the potatoes in cold, salted water and bring to a boil.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F.
- Once the potatoes are simmering, leave for 5 minutes until fork-tender.
- Drain and allow them to steam dry until fluffy around the edges.
- Add 1 cup of avocado oil or oil to a baking tray and place it in the oven to heat up for 10 – 15 minutes.
- Once hot, carefully add the potatoes to the oil, season generously with salt and pepper, and mix well.
- Place in the oven for one hour and 20 minutes, turning every 20 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, finely chop garlic and rosemary and add them to a small mixing bowl.
- Pour in the olive oil and stir well. Once the potatoes are done, pour the garlic rosemary mixture over them, mix well, and bake in the oven for 3 to 4 minutes (no longer, as the garlic may burn).
- Sprinkle over a pinch of salt and savor the crispiness.
