• Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 200°C (approximately 390°F) to achieve the perfect roast.

Preparing the potatoes

• Begin by peeling the potatoes.
  11 medium potatoes
• Cut the potatoes into inch-sized chunks, aiming for uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.Place the cut potatoes directly into the baking pan.
• Add the peeled and sliced garlic cloves, a sprig of rosemary and the bay leaf to the pan.
  1 sprig fresh rosemary, 1 bay leaf, 3 peeled garlic cloves
• Drizzle them with a good amount of olive oil, coating them evenly right in the pan. This method helps in achieving those desired crispy edges.
  3 tablespoon olive oil
• Season with salt tossing everything together to ensure the potatoes are uniformly seasoned with these fresh flavors.
  2 teaspoon sea coarser salt
• Spread the potatoes in a single layer in the pan. This is key for ensuring each piece roasts evenly and becomes beautifully golden brown and crispy.

Roasting the potatoes

• Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour. The high oven temperature is crucial for developing a crispy exterior.
• After the initial hour, use a spatula to gently turn over the potatoes, ensuring they brown evenly on all sides.
• Continue baking until the potatoes have developed a crispy texture and a deep golden brown color, which may take an additional 40-45 minutes.
• Once ready, gently slide a spatula underneath the roasted potatoes to loosen and lift them from the pan, preserving their crispy exterior.
• Serve immediately
