Roasted potatoes recipe is seriously awesome. The idea is old but the way you made is exceptional. I can feel the taste by seeing the pictures and i love to make this tonight.
Your recipe says to turn the potatoes over and then baste with “baste with the garlic oil”. No where is there a mention of “garlic Oil”. Where do we find this garlic oil?
Garlic oil as in the oil and garlic with the potatoes.
nice
These are lovely for Christmas, I made them last year and will be making again this year!
One question, do you know whether these re-heat well in the oven? Would you cover with foil to keep them from drying out?
Merry Christmas
Hi Melissa, yes you can certainly reheat in the oven and cover with foil is a wonderful idea. Merry Christmas, too!

Absolutely love these. Simple but delicious. I’ve made them, with different dishes, three times in the last two weeks. Just another addition to my list of your marvellous recipes.
I always love to write down new recipes in my cook book, and yours is not an exception for me. Can we wrap potatoes in the foil?
Yes you can. But you might want to have direct heat towards the end so the heat would crisp up the skin a bit.
