The potato. The most popular tuber vegetable in the world. The potato originated in South America and most of the world's species of potatoes are derived from a single subspecies in Chile. The average person consumes 73 pounds of potato every year. Being Irish, I value the importance of the potato.
This recipe is the oldest recipe I have and its roots begin in 6th grade. While I was in 6th grade, students were required to take an elective rotation series that included art, computers, drama, and home economics. In the home-ec class we were required cook a meal for our families. One of the dishes I made was garlic roasted potatoes. While I do not remember where I got the recipe initially, I have kept this one in my back pocket.
Now that you have way more information about potatoes and my childhood than you ever wanted to know, I will get to the dish.
