Calories: 280kcal
Ingredients
- 2 pounds of small red potatoes or baby potatoes halved
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 head of garlic cut ½ inch from the top
- ¼ cup of parsley chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Set aside.
- Place the potatoes and head of garlic on the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix well to coat the potatoes fully. Make sure to drizzle oil into the cut side of the garlic.
- Roast for 30 minutes. Check for doneness and add 5 minutes of roasting until they are soft and golden, and some are slightly charred.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Using a kitchen towel, grab the garlic head and squeeze out the garlic cloves into a large bowl. The garlic will be soft and creamy. Using a fork, mash them until a paste is formed. Add a splash of olive oil to make it a bit runnier if needed. Add the parsley and mix.
- Carefully add the potatoes and toss well until they are fully coated with the garlic paste.
- Serve hot!
Notes
- For crispier potatoes: Optionally, preheat the pan in the oven with a thin layer of olive oil, and carefully place the potatoes, cut-side down, onto the hot tray. It should sizzle immediately. Also, optionally broil the potatoes for 2-4 minutes after roasting.
- Don’t overcrowd the tray: Otherwise, the potatoes won’t become as crispy.
- Roasting time varies: Depending on the exact size of the potatoes, keep an eye on them after 25 minutes, testing until knife/fork tender.
- Keep them warm: If you aren’t serving the garlic roasted baby potatoes immediately, keep them in the oven at 200F/93C, but only up to 2 hours, or they’ll dry out.
