For this dish, you need to choose the right potato variety. From personal experience, I can say that tubers with a thin light cinnamon peel are great. As well as some varieties of potatoes with red skin. By the way, if you like potatoes rustic, then the peel can not be peeled, but very carefully washed before baking. If the ruddy crust did not appear on your potatoes after the first 30 minutes of baking, then you got the wrong variety. It's not scary. The main thing is that it is well baked inside.

How to bake potatoes in the oven? Prepare the ingredients according to the list. Potato tubers are preferable to choose the same size. Fresh rosemary can be replaced with dry herbs. Instead of olive oil, you can take any vegetable, to your choice. You can also use special potato seasoning mixes. And replace black ground pepper with paprika.

Wash the potatoes, peel and rinse again in running water. If the potatoes are large, cut them in half, leave the small tubers intact.

Put the peeled potatoes in a saucepan, pour water over them so they cover them completely. Add a pinch of salt and place on heat. Bring the water to a boil and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes. We don't need to cook potatoes until ready, keep that in mind.

Disassemble the garlic head into cloves.

Remove the leaves from the rosemary sprigs. In a bowl, combine rosemary, unpeeled garlic and 2 tbsp. l olive oil.

Tip the boiled potatoes into a colander and leave for 5 minutes so that the glass water and tubers dry slightly.

Transfer the potatoes to an olive oil-greased baking dish, salt, pepper.

Place the tin with the potatoes in the oven preheated to 190 ° C for about 20-30 minutes. Determine the exact time and temperature of baking by your oven. Remove the not fully baked potatoes from the oven and lightly press the tubers with a potato grinder.

Spread the olive oil-soaked rosemary with garlic over the potato surface. Return the tin to the oven for a further 25-40 minutes and bake the potatoes until golden brown.

Root crops are best washed with a brush or a rigid sponge under a stream of running water.

Keep in mind that everyone has different ovens. The temperature and cooking time may differ from those indicated in the recipe. To make any baked dish successful, use useful information about the features of the ovens! Of all sorts of side dishes, my favorite over the years is potatoes and rice. However, potatoes baked according to this recipe are perceived as a stand-alone dish. It is so fragrant and delicious that no meat or fish is needed for it. Highly recommend for cooking. This is the most delicious baked potato option I've ever tasted!
