Equipment

  • large stock pot
  • 2 half sheet pans
  • Non-stick aluminum foil
  • Paper Towels

Ingredients

  • 8 Russet Potatoes
  • 2 sprigs Fresh Rosemary
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 tbs Table Salt
  • ¼ c Canola Oil
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt

Instructions

  • Wash and scrub the potatoes well. Then, cut them in half lengthwise and place them in a large stock pot. Fill the pot with water, making sure the water is one inch above the potatoes.
  • Mince the garlic and add it to the pot, along with the rosemary and table salt. Mix well, place the lid on the pot, and bring to a boil over high heat. Then, remove the lid, reduce the heat, and continue to boil for about five minutes. Drain the potatoes and place them on paper towels to dry.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and line two half-sheet pans with non-stick aluminum foil.
  • Place the potatoes in a large bowl. Pour the oil over the potatoes, and sprinkle with Kosher salt. Then, use a pair of tongs to coat all of the potatoes with the oil and Kosher salt.
  • Place the potatoes cut side down on the prepared baking pans. Place both pans in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Rotate the position of the pans and bake for an additional 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve.
