Serves: 4
- 1 kg / 2 lbs potatoes
- 3 garlic cloves cut in half
- 4 rosemary sprigs
- extra virgin olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- Preheat oven to 200°C / 400°F / gas mark 6.
- Rinse well and peel potatoes.
- Cut them in about 1 inch/2.5 cm pieces.
- Put water into a pot, large enough to contain the potatoes, then bring it to a boil.
- Add 2 pinch of salt and 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar.
- Add potatoes into the pot and cook them for just 3-5 minutes then drain thoroughly in a colander. Let them cool.
- Put potatoes in a bowl, cover with cold water and 2 tbsp of white wine for at least an hour. They will release all the starch in excess.
- Grease a pan with extra virgin olive oil, add the potatoes, sprinkle with rosemary and garlic cloves.
- Sprinkle again with some extra virgin olive oil, mix and DO NOT add salt at this point.
- Put the pan in the oven and cook for at least an hour. Halfway in the cooking process give a stir.
- minutes before cooking point, adjust with salt and/or pepper to taste.
- You can cook potatoes on the stove, just halve the cooking time.
