We had these yummy potatoes for Easter after hearing the recipe on the radio. It comes from Nigella's book "Feast: Food to Celebrate Life". We were all afraid they would be overpowering because the whole house smelled like garlic, but they were wonderful - crispy and brown with a lovely roasted garlic flavor!

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs tiny new potatoes
8 whole garlic cloves (or more to taste)
1/2 cup olive oil

Directions

1
Bring a pan of salted water to a boil, and cook the potatoes for 30 minutes. Drain, and put back into the dry pan.
2
Peel the garlic cloves and put them in the dry pan with the potatoes.
3
Mash the potatoes and garlic so they are cracked and split. They can be done ahead up to this point and left in the pan but leave the lid off, so they don’t get watery.
4
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and slip a roasting pan in to heat up at the same time.
5
When the oven is hot, pour the oil into the pan and leave it to heat up for 10 minutes.
6
Carefully tip the potatoes and garlic into the hot oil and cook for 15 minutes.
7
Turn the potatoes over and cook another 15 minutes until browned and crispy. Serve immediately.

Excellent. Loved the cooking method. I did add some season salt and onion salt to the potatoes, but what I love about this is the cooking method. I used a large cast iron skillet to cook it in. I thought at first they were going to be too greasy, but they weren't. DH loved them too. The garlic portion was perfect for us. Thanks so much for sharing. Made for Pot Luck tag game.

These potatoes were awesome. I didn't have small new potatoes, so just used regular ones and mashed them with the skin still on. They still turned out delicious. Thanks!

Wow were these ever good. I may have been a little over enthusiastic in my potato smashing, but the potatoes were nice and crispy. I did add some kosher salt and pepper, but there was plenty of flavor before I did so.
