Using a muffin tray helps keep the potato segments neatly arranged while they roast, allowing the flavours of the garlic, rosemary, and oregano to infuse the potatoes. With just a few simple ingredients and minimal preparation, this recipe is ideal for both everyday meals and special occasions.
What are Roasted Potatoes and Garlic?
These roasted potatoes are made by arranging potato segments in the individual compartments of a muffin tray, seasoning them with olive oil and herbs, and baking them in the oven. Red potatoes work particularly well because they hold their shape during cooking and develop a tender texture.
The addition of garlic gives the potatoes a rich, savoury flavour, while rosemary and oregano provide an aromatic, earthy taste. This cooking method offers a simple alternative to traditional roasted potatoes and creates individual portions that are easy to serve.
Pro Tips
- Cut the potatoes into even sizes to help them cook evenly.
- Make sure the potatoes are evenly coated to help them roast and develop a golden exterior.
- After 25 minutes, pierce a potato with a fork to check that it is tender. Larger segments may require additional cooking time.
- Using red potatoes is a good idea as they will hold their shape during the roasting process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Use a Different Type of Potato?
Yes! Yukon Gold or small yellow potatoes are good alternatives to red potatoes. Choose potatoes that hold their shape well during roasting.
