- Toss them in the mixing bowl as you go.
- Mince the clove of garlic.
- Toss garlic in with potatoes.
- Add (a generous) 2 tbsp olive oil and ½ tsp salt. Remember: you cal always add more salt later. You can’t subtract it!
- Mix them with your hands and make sure every potato has equal oily shinyness. Makes them delicious and keeps them from sticking to your baking sheet. If your worried, add a bit more oil.
- Dump out potatoes on a baking sheet and spread so there is just one layer of potatoes.
- To fancify your potatoes, throw in some pieces of rosemary.
