02.28.12 Flag commentThis recipe is soo good and easy. It helps to blanch the potatoes before baking. I used convect bake and was able to cut 8 minutes off the bake time. Also, since my family loves roasted garlic, I doubled the recipe amount. And do leave the skin on the garlic, otherwise, you may overcook it. Do try this recipe, very easy and delicious, too.
