Baked Garlic Potatoes
Coming from a long line of potato lovers and not being one myself it was always a challenge to find a potato that I actually liked, with the exception of French fries. It is extremely simple to make and you can always jazz it up to fit your tastes. My brother has taken these potatoes with him to an Eagles game for his tailgating breakfast. He put his own spin on it by adding Cajun seasoning…(I think that is what he added. Let me know Tim)
1 small bag of red skinned potatoes, cut into bite size pieces
¼ of olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
Kosher salt
Oven 350 degrees
Cut the potatoes into bite size pieces and place in a bowl. Add olive oil, garlic and kosher salt. The amount of salt depends on what you like. Toss together and spread out on a baking sheet and bake for about 45 minutes flipping once halfway thru.
I usually leave the potatoes in until they are well browned and crispy. I have even added fresh chopped rosemary for a change. Warning, your whole house will smell like garlic!
I prefer the kosher salt and use it in all of my cooking but there is no need to go our and buy it if you don’t have a need for it. Regular salt should do.
