  • Bring the potatoes to the boil from cold and when boiling, boil for exactly 2 minutes.

  • Drain in a collinder.

  • Add the potatoes to the piping hot fat and turn so they are fully coated in the hot fat.

  • Return to the oven and roast for 50 minutes, turning after 25 minutes.

  • After 50 minutes remove from the oven, add the garlic cloves with their skins on, the rosemary and season well with salt and pepper. Drizzle with a little olive oil.

  • Return to the oven and roast for a further 25 minutes.

  • When cooked, remove the rosemary sprigs and serve along with the garlic which will be soft and sweet and easy to squeeze form their skins.

  • Add a sprinkling of sea salt if necessary to taste.

  • If you cook these in advance and leave to cool they are great picnic food and fabulous with a sprinkling of tobasco hot sauce.
