POTATOES FONTECCHIO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Pierce whole potatoes with a fork and place into a roasting pan, cutting any extremely large potatoes in half, and roast for two hours or until tender.
• While potatoes are roasting, in a small bowl mix oil, garlic, salt, pepper and mint and set aside.
• After the potatoes are cooked, remove from oven and cut into approximately two-inch pieces and place in a large bowl. (Cut large potatoes into quarters and small potatoes in half to get them about two inches.)
• Stir the oil once more and pour over the potatoes and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Pour out onto a serving bowl or platter and serve.

POTATOES FONTECCHIO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Scrub potatoes and prick each one about 6 times with a fork.
• Place in a shallow roasting pan (that has been sprayed with cooking oil) and roast for 2 hours. (I also spray the top of the potatoes - have used spray olive oil too).
• When you remove from the oven, cut each potato in half (or in quarters if using the regular size potatoes) and put into a large mixing bowl.
• Toss the potatoes with the garlic, oil (I just pour this on - enough so it looks right -- ), mint, salt and pepper to taste. Let stand for 30 minutes before serving.
