1teaspoonDried rosemary
1Garlic head, broken into cloves, but NOT PEELED

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously oil a 9 x 13- inch baking dish.

Evenly layer halp of the potatoes over bottom of pan. Drizzle with ½ cup beef broth, rosemary, salt and pepper to taste. Tuck garlic cloves randomly amid potatoes. Bake 1 hour.

Increase oven heat to 400 degrees. Brush olive oil over potatoes. Bake 30 minutes more, or until potatoes are rown and crispy. If desired, sprinkly cheese over potatoes 10 minutes before end of baking time.

Author notes: "This dish delivers crisp, browned potatoes and creamy-soft garlic: the latter can be squeezed out of its skin and spread on the potatoes. A food processor fitted with the 3mm clicing blade makes quick work of slicing the potatoes, which I don't peel because I like the flavor of the skins."
