Recipe: Roasted Garlic Potatoes
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds of Russet potatoes (Avoid the green ones, for heaven’s sake!)
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash and peel the potatoes, making sure to completely remove any green parts. If you’re unsure, just throw them away and save yourself the trouble.
- Cut the potatoes into even-sized chunks and place them in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, mix the minced garlic with the olive oil.
- Pour the garlic-infused olive oil over the potatoes and toss to coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the potatoes to a baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside.
- Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve.

Now, it’s time to pair this potentially life-saving dish with a wine that won’t make me lose faith in humanity. The Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio with its refreshing acidity and hints of citrus and apple will perfectly complement the roasted garlic potatoes.
