Potatoes are the ultimate comfort food of all time and I am always on the lookout for a new potato recipe. Yesterday, I found this delicious looking garlic roast potatoes recipe by Anita Cooks on Youtube and I knew I had to serve it with some rib-eye steaks I was planning to grill. I usually always serve baked potatoes with steak, but it was time to really change things up a bit. These garlic roast potato wedges look every bit as colorful and impressive as a stuffed baked potato, so I knew the entire presentation was not going to suffer one bit, because of this menu change.

Ingredients:

• 4 large Russet baking potatoes (peeled and sliced into wedges)
• 1 teaspoon of pepper (there are not a lot of seasoning so you will need a generous amount)
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (to coat the potatoes evenly)
• 1 whole pod of garlic
• aluminum foil (to cover the pod of garlic)
• 2 tablespoons of butter
• 2 tablespoons of chopped flat-leaf parsley

Directions:

First, you will slice the peeled potatoes into wedges, (steak fry size), then season the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Then, prepare your garlic pod for roasting by cutting the end off and drizzling a bit of olive oil onto the cut portion. Wrap the garlic pod in foil and place on the baking sheet with the potatoes. Bake the potatoes in a 425-degree oven for 45 to 50 minutes, turning potatoes over halfway through.

When the potatoes are golden brown, remove from the oven and take garlic pod out of the foil wrapping. Squeeze the garlic out of the skin and add it to a saucepan with melted butter and flat-leaf parsley. When the garlic butter sauce is ready, just pour over the delicious steak fries and serve.

These garlic roast potatoes turned out better than I could have imagined, everyone loved them.
