Just in case you stumbled in here without knowing, fresh roasted garlic has a sublime flavor without the harshness of raw or bottled; so don't skip this step, start from scratch and roast two or three extras for further experimentation. The recipe said to "peel and cube" the potatoes, but we don't peel red potatoes here; it takes the fun out of using red potatoes. The final result -- at the risk of quoting GoBugsy below: "Wonderful."
