Roasted Potatoes

 This is a bit late, but I was watching Barefoot Contessa: Barefoot in London over winter break and was inspired to make roasted potatoes that she had seen in a delicatessen. My aunty asked me to bake potatoes for her New Year's Eve party, but there were a couple that didn't fit on the baking sheet so I decided to experiment with them. I used a pairing knife to slice the raw potatoes, placed raw garlic slivers between every other slice, poured some olive oil, and sprinkled sea salt & finely chopped rosemary that my cousin grows in her garden. Because there wasn't any room in the oven, I stuck them in the toaster oven at 450 degrees for 20 minutes. My cousin and Jaymie seemed to really like them so I wouldn't mind making them again, though I'll follow the recipe the next time around now that I finally found it!
