How to Make Nigella Lawson Sticky Garlic Potatoes

  1. Boil 2 lbs small potatoes in salted water for 30 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork.
  2. Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the dry pan.
  3. Add 1 whole head of garlic, cloves separated but unpeeled, to the pan with the potatoes.
  4. Gently mash the potatoes and garlic cloves using a potato masher or fork, creating cracks and splits in the potatoes but not completely mashing them.
  5. (Optional) At this stage, you can prepare the potatoes ahead of time. Leave them in the pan (uncovered) until ready to bake.
  6. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place an oven-safe roasting pan inside to heat up while the oven preheats.
  7. Once the oven is hot, carefully remove the hot roasting pan. Pour 1/4 cup olive oil into the pan and let it heat for 10 minutes.
  8. Carefully add the potatoes and garlic to the hot roasting pan.
  9. Toss the potatoes to coat them evenly with the oil.
  10. Roast for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
  11. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
