Our Lady of Garlic Roasted Potatoes by Janice Taylor, Life and Wellness Coach, Weight Loss Artist

When I say “Comfort Food,” you say … no, you YELL, “Our Lady of Weight Loss’s Garlic Roasted Potatoes!”

Here is the best ever garlic roasted potato recipes from the OLofWL kitchen!

Ingredients15 whole garlic cloves
2 tbsp olive oil
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 whole potatoes, scrubbed & cut into bite size cubes
1 to 2 cups fresh, canned or boxed organic vegetable broth
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
salt n’ pepper to taste
Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Toss the garlic cloves in olive oil and place in a small baking dish.

Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Bake until soft, lightly brown, yum yum yum … about 40 to 50 minutes.

NOW … Place the potatoes in a medium-sized pot with the garlic cloves.
Add water to cover.
Bring water to boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook on!  Until  the potatoes are very soft; soft enough to easily and effortlessly mash.  About 20 minutes.

Remove from the heat and drain water on out, leaving potatoes and garlic in the pot.
Over low heat, add 1/2 cup of the organic vegetable stock.

Mash the potatoes with a mixer or a potato masher.  Mixer makes for less lumpy; but sometimes you gotta’ love your lumps.  Add anywhere between 1/2 cup to 1.5 cups of broth to get it to the consistency that you like. Season to taste with chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper.

Serve and think about it … This is a pretty pure dish.  There’s no heavy cream or butter.  Real food for real people!

A 5 Yum side dish!

Spread the word … not the icing!
