Potatoes in uniform in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the ingredients. Dried thyme and rosemary can be replaced with fresh twigs. The dish will only benefit from this, since the aroma of fresh herbs is stronger. For baking, you need to choose the right potatoes, because there are varieties that will remain raw inside even after an hour in the oven. The store does not write the names of varieties on the price tags, so focus on the color of the pulp: the lighter it is, the more starch it contains and the faster the potatoes will cook.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the potatoes thoroughly and rub with a brush. If the potatoes are young, then proceed carefully so as not to remove the upper tender skin. If the potatoes are old harvest, it is better to pierce them from all sides with a fork or toothpick.

3. Step 3:

   

   Peel the garlic and cut it lengthwise into 2-3 pieces to make petals.

5. Step 4:

   

   Put the potatoes in a baking dish or on a small baking sheet. Pour olive oil on top. Put the potatoes in preheated to 200 °From the oven for 20 minutes. If you have dense potatoes with a hard crust, it is better to cover the mold with foil. This way it will bake faster inside. After 20 minutes, remove the potatoes and pierce each tuber with a toothpick. The upper part should be soft, and the middle should remain elastic.

6. Step 5:

   

   Flip the tubers. Using a brush, brush the tubers with olive oil from the bottom of the mold. Sprinkle the potatoes with sea salt and dried herbs on top. Arrange garlic and bay leaves around the potatoes. Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes until tender. If the potatoes are baked badly, cover the mold with foil.

   Put the finished potatoes on a plate, pour the remaining olive oil with herbs and garlic and serve hot. Enjoy your meal!
