Ingredients

1 3/4 pounds (about 6 medium) white potatoes

1 tablespoon olive oil

8 cloves garlic, unpeeled

Coarse salt and ground pepper

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Quarter potatoes. Place on a rimmed baking sheet. Add the olive oil and garlic. Season with salt and pepper; toss to combine.

Spread potatoes in a single layer, cut sides down. Roast, turning potatoes halfway through, until golden brown, about 45 minutes. Squeeze garlic cloves out of their skins; serve with potatoes.
