GARLIC ROASTED RED POTATOES

"Scrumptious." - Mom 


Cook Time: 25-30 Minutes 
Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Total Time: 40-45 Minutes




So, I can't take full credit for this recipe (most of the time I do anyways) 😈. My good friend Jennifer, made this for me one night for dinner at her place and I've been tweaking and making it weekly ever since. It's seriously so good! When she made it, it had garlic powder, salt, and pepper
on it. When I make it, I add thyme. Doesn't taste much different, but hey, now it's my own recipe.... sorta!


Couldn't help but share it so everyone can enjoy a little starchy goodness during the week.



I also wanna share with you guys a really cool trick I learned from Pinterest. It only works if your garlic is fresh!  Otherwise, the peeling is too soft to separate this way. Just take your garlic cloves, put them in a glass of some sort (pictured is a wine glass, CLASSY). Then shake them until the peelings come off. Much easier than getting garlic stuck up your nails after peeling them by hand for 30 minutes. 

 Ingredients:

5-6 Large potatoes
Olive oil (two table spoons)
Fresh garlic (5 cloves)
Fresh thyme
Garlic Powder
Garlic Salt
Minced dried onion
Salt and pepper

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 420 ℉
  2. Go ahead and peel your cloves by hand (or you can use the trick above). Chop the red potatoes and place the whole clove onto a baking sheet with olive oil. Make sure they are coated (but not too much) in olive oil so that they don't stick to the pan. Because trust me they will, and you'll end up with mashed potatoes. 
  3. Sprinkle on you garlic powder, garlic salt, minced dried onion, and salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Place in the oven, being sure to mix them every so often.
  5. they usually take about 20-25 minutes to cook, but check on them often! 
  6. once done, they'll be golden brown and crispy on the outside and a little mushy on the inside. Take them out of the oven and add some thyme sprigs!
I hope you guys love these as much as I do. Shout out to Jen for making these for me!
