How to Make Roasted Potatoes With Garlic Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wrap 1 whole head of garlic in foil, or place in a garlic roaster. Roast until golden brown and soft, about 1 hour.
  3. Let the roasted garlic cool until you can handle it.
  4. Slice off the top of the garlic head.
  5. Discard the garlic skin.
  6. Transfer the roasted garlic cloves to a small bowl.
  7. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the bowl.
  8. Mash the garlic mixture with the back of a spoon to create a thick paste.
  9. Increase oven temperature to 475°F (245°C).
  10. Wash and thoroughly dry 2 pounds of potatoes (Yukon Gold or russet recommended). Cut each potato into three or four 1-inch-thick slices.
  11. Spread a generous amount of the garlic paste between each potato slice.
  12. Reassemble the potato, pressing the slices together to form a whole potato.
  13. Place each potato on a piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  14. Wrap each potato tightly in foil.
  15. Repeat steps 12-14 for remaining potatoes.
  16. Bake on a baking sheet until the potatoes are tender and have a caramelized garlic crust, about 1 hour and 10 minutes.
  17. Sprinkle with fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme, if desired.
