Ingredients:
- 4 potatoes
- 6 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon parsley
- 1 tablespoon basil
Instructions:
-
Roast the Garlic:
- Begin by roasting the garlic. Place the cloves and olive oil in a small oven dish or create a packet with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35-45 minutes until the garlic cloves are golden brown and tender.
-
Prepare the Potatoes:
- While the garlic is roasting, clean the potatoes and cut them into bite-size pieces. You can choose to leave the peelings on for added texture or peel them off according to your preference.
- Rinse the potato pieces thoroughly and ensure they are completely dry before proceeding.
-
Combine Ingredients:
- Once the garlic is roasted to perfection, remove it from the oven. Take out the garlic cloves from the oil and reserve them for later use.
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil (without the garlic cloves), potatoes, salt, pepper, parsley, and basil. Ensure that the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoned oil mixture.
-
Bake the Potatoes:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Spread the seasoned potato pieces out on a large cookie sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer to allow for even cooking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside.
-
Add Roasted Garlic:
- Once the potatoes are done baking, you have the option to add the roasted garlic cloves immediately for an extra burst of flavor. Alternatively, you can store the garlic cloves in an airtight container in the refrigerator for future use, such as in garlic mashed potatoes.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Transfer the Roasted Garlic Potato Bites to a serving platter and serve them hot as a delightful appetizer or side dish.
- Share these delectable bites with your loved ones and savor the irresistible combination of crispy potatoes and fragrant roasted garlic.
