Potatoes Fontecchio
- Ready In:
- 2hrs 20mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Serves:
-
8
ingredients
- 5 1⁄2 lbs red potatoes (I've used regular sized red potatoes and just cut twice later in recipe)
- 8 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 1⁄2 cups olive oil, best quality (I use about half this)
- 1⁄4 cup mint, stems removed & leaves finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- fresh ground pepper
directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Scrub potatoes and prick each one about 6 times with a fork.
- Place in a shallow roasting pan (that has been sprayed with cooking oil) and roast for 2 hours. (I also spray the top of the potatoes - have used spray olive oil too).
- When you remove from the oven, cut each potato in half (or in quarters if using the regular size potatoes) and put into a large mixing bowl.
- Toss the potatoes with the garlic, oil (I just pour this on - enough so it looks right -- ), mint, salt and pepper to taste. Let stand for 30 minutes before serving.

I have been a member of recipezaar and food.com for years. This is definitely my go-to place for recipes and love that I can have all my individual cookbooks to sort and store recipes. ? I like to experiment when I cook and find that I rarely follow a recipe as it is written. I am also pretty health conscious and try to cook low-fat for regular everyday meals (you can't skimp on the rich stuff for holiday meals & treats!). I also avoid processed foods and use fresh wholesome ingredients whenever possible.
