Oven potatoes

Oven potatoes are a staple when cooking for large groups of people. Everyone likes them and it is so much easier to make the whole meal in the oven (ok, I have a huge oven....)! Since I make them nearly every time there is some sort of roast, I tend to add different herbs & spices each time, whatever is available & accompanies the roast (chicken, beef, lamb, pork, game....).

Ex: With the sage & garlic leg of lamb I like to doctor the potatoes with rosemary.




Rosemary & Garlic Put roast into oven first, then prepare the potatoes, as their cooking time is probably not as long. Preferably use small potatoes, leave on peel, cut in half. Add full unpeeled cloves of garlic, a sprig of rosemary, 4 tbsps olive oil, salt & pepper to taste. If you have a bottle of dry white wine open, splash some on as well. Put the potatoes in the oven cook until golden & crisp.
