Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and scrub the red potatoes to remove any dirt.
- Cut the potatoes into quarters or halves, depending on size.
- Peel and finely chop the garlic.

- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast for about 25–30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender.

Notes
For best results, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet and consider parboiling the potatoes beforehand for extra texture.
