Question: what happens with the garlic heads? ?
Hi Inna. In step #2 of the recipe, it does say to place the garlic, parsley, lemon and thyme into the pan with the potatoes.
My wife said “looks so pretty & tastes so good”.
Thanks. I’m going to have to make these again. Sliced Garlic thin & placed in slits. Tooth picked a piece of bacon on the top of each potato – will do that again;
