Roasted Garlic Potatoes

<< Garlic Potatoes are oven-fried smashed potatoes seasoned with garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. For best results, use a spatula to handle the potatoes as they roast so that their round shape remains intact. Do not smash potatoes too flat, only enough to break skins and expose flesh. Use more or less garlic, to taste and be patient as potatoes roast - they will go in and out of the oven quite a few times - the results will be worth the wait.

Note: Recipe calls for 450 degrees F - I made this recipe at 425 degrees F and the results were fine. Depends on the intensity of your oven.

Ingredients:

  • 3 lb. small red potatoes, washed, dried, unpeeled (about 12 potatoes)
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1-2 tbsp. dried oregano
  • 1-2 tbsp. minced garlic (fresh works best but dried is also OK)
Heat oven to 450°F. Place potatoes in single layer on roasting pan and roast until tender - this can take anywhere between 30-45 minutes. Remove pan from oven and place on top of heat-proof surface. Using bottom of glass bottle or mug, press down on each potato to flatten - to about 1/2" thickness, retaining round shape of each potato. Drizzle ¼ cup oil over potatoes, season generously with salt and pepper and return them to oven to roast for another 20-25 minutes or until bottom of potatoes are browned.

Remove pan to heatproof surface and using a spatula, gently turn over potatoes. Drizzle another ¼ cup oil over potatoes, reserving 2 tbsp., and return to oven. Roast for about 20-25 minutes until browned on second side. Remove pan from oven.

Distribute oregano and garlic evenly over potatoes, sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle remaining 2 tbsp. of oil over entire surface. Return to oven for final 5 minutes. Using spatula, transfer potatoes to large platter. Serve immediately.
