Crispy Garlic & Sea Salt Potatoes

I make these potatoes a lot, they are so moreish and I often use them in place of chips/fries because I think they are tastier and a little healthier too!

Tonight I had them with steak and salad which really hit the spot.

The recipe calls for garlic olive oil instead of chopped garlic, as I find the garlic bits end up burning and ruining the dish.

But try and get hold of a good quality garlic infused olive oil or make your own by leaving 4 or 5 garlic cloves in a bottle of olive oil for about a week to marinade.

Some cheaper brands I’ve tried are very weak, like Morrisons (sorry to name names) but Waitrose brand has a really nice strong, natural flavour.

And the same goes for the salt, a good quality, coarse sea salt can’t be replaced by ordinary table salt. It just won’t be the same!
