Kazza the Blank One

Last weekend I tried to find something from my new cookbook that I could do with the roast lamb I was doing.  I found these garlic roast potatoes that looked easy enough and used ingredients I had in the house.  

Simples - potato, garlic, rosemary, thyme, olive oil, salt and pepper

All prepped

Just mix it all up

You're meant to turn the potatoes at twenty minutes (out of forty).  I always do my potatoes longer so this was more like half an hour.  

I also took the garlic out, because cooking them for an hour would burn them, and they looked cooked enough.

I think this was more like fifty minutes.  Ten minutes longer than the recipe, but ten minutes shorter than I'd normally do them for.  I think only one or two of those cloves of garlic (which I threw back in for the photo) made it to the plate ;)

Is the juice worth the squeeze?
Me: I mean these are fairly similar to how I do potatoes anyway.  But I did like adding rosemary and thyme, which I have growing around here anyway, so will use those more often.  Garlic is tricky because it will burn before the potatoes are cooked (the way I do it), so I'd just roast those separately.
Stu: "You've done better".  Yeah I definitely need to cook them longer/hotter :)
