O Que Você Precisa Saber

- The uniform quarter cuts with skin keep the potato structure firm and maximize the contact area with the heat of the baking sheet. - Abundant extra virgin olive oil conducts heat at 200°C, caramelizing the outer shell without dehydrating the center. - The whole roasted garlic heads confit slowly in their own juices, losing their pungency and becoming sweet.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 800 g Small potatoes (baby or Asterix type)
  • 80 ml Extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 units Fresh rosemary sprigs
  • 2 units Garlic heads
  • 1 teaspoon Sal grosso
  • a gosto Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to facilitate cleaning and prevent the potatoes from sticking. This initial preparation ensures stress-free cooking.

2

Em uma tigela grande, adicione as batatas lavadas e cortadas em quartos ou metades. A técnica profissional é pré-cozinhá-las por 5 minutos para um interior mais macio, mas não é estritamente necessário para esta versão rústica. Escorra bem se pré-cozinhar.

3

Drizzle the potatoes with half the olive oil, add the roughly chopped rosemary sprigs, the whole peeled garlic cloves, coarse salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat all potatoes evenly with the seasonings.

4

Pour the potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading them in a single layer without overcrowding. This ensures that the potatoes roast instead of steaming, resulting in a crispy and delicious texture.

5

Bake in a preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until they are golden on the outside and soft on the inside when pierced with a fork. Turn the potatoes halfway through to brown evenly on all sides.

6

While the potatoes bake, the garlic will confit slowly in the hot olive oil, becoming surprisingly creamy and sweet. The secret of this recipe is this transformation of the garlic, which adds incomparable depth of flavor.

7

Remove from the oven and serve immediately as a side dish. The potatoes will be crispy on the outside and velvety on the inside, with an irresistible and aromatic flavor of rosemary and confit garlic.

Chef Tips

- Lave e seque muito bem as batatas com um pano antes de cortar; umidade na casca impede a formação da crosta estaladiça. - Distribua as batatas em camada única sem sobreposição na assadeira para permitir circulação de ar quente sem gerar vapor. - Vire as batatas com uma espátula de metal aos 20 minutos de forno para dourar todas as faces por igual.

Variations

- Sprinkle smoked paprika and a pinch of red pepper flakes over the potatoes before taking to the preheated oven. - Sprinkle finely grated parmesan cheese in the last 10 minutes of baking to create a crispy gratin crust. - Squeeze the soft garlic confit cloves over the potatoes when removing from the baking sheet, mixing like a vegetable butter.

Substitutions

- Baby potatoes can be replaced by Asterix potatoes cut into rustic cubes, sweet potatoes, or arracacha in thick slices. - Fresh rosemary can be complemented with chopped fresh thyme, whole sage leaves, or fresh oregano. - Olive oil can be replaced by refined lard or clarified butter (ghee) for an even more striking flavor.

How to Store

Keep leftovers in an airtight container lined with paper towels in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat and return the crunchiness of the shell, take to the electric oven or air fryer at 190°C for 8 minutes; avoid the microwave so as not to soften the texture.

Can You Freeze It?

It is not recommended to freeze baked potatoes, as the starch undergoes retrogradation in the freezer, making the center spongy and watery after thawing. Enjoy the refrigerated leftovers by heating in a skillet with a drop of olive oil.

What to Serve With

Perfectly accompanies noble grilled meats, ribeye steaks, roasted pork loin, golden chicken, and charcoal-grilled fish. It also pairs well with sauces like homemade confit garlic mayonnaise, fresh chimichurri, or well-chilled craft beer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it necessary to cook the potatoes in water before roasting?

It is not strictly mandatory, but a quick 5-minute boil with salt makes the crumb even more velvety.

How to prevent the garlic from burning during the 35 minutes in the oven?

Keep the garlic cloves wrapped in olive oil or roast the whole heads with the skin on, removing the soft pulp at the end.

What is the best potato variety to get a crispy skin?

High-starch, lower-moisture potatoes, such as Asterix or new baby potatoes, produce the best crust.

Does dried rosemary work with the same result as fresh?

You can use dried rosemary in smaller quantities, but fresh retains essential oils that perfume the olive oil without burning quickly.
