Potatoes Fontecchio
Potatoes Fontecchio is a delicious side dish of roasted potatoes with garlic and mint. It’s the perfect side dish to serve for Easter dinner or at any special meal!
Ingredients
5 pounds new red potatoes
1 1/2 cups good quality olive oil
8 large garlic cloves, very finely minced or pressed through a garlic press* (Our cloves were very large and I ended up with four tablespoons)
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 loosely packed cup of fresh mint, chopped fine
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Pierce whole potatoes with a fork and place into a roasting pan, cutting any extremely large potatoes in half, and roast for two hours or until tender.
While potatoes are roasting, in a small bowl mix oil, garlic, salt, pepper and mint and set aside.
After the potatoes are cooked, remove from oven and cut into approximately two-inch pieces and place in a large bowl. (Cut large potatoes into quarters and small potatoes in half to get them about two inches.)
Stir the oil once more and pour over the potatoes and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Pour out onto a serving bowl or platter and serve.

Notes
*Use a garlic press to finely mince the garlic for best results. This will avoid a strong, ‘raw’ garlic taste in the finished dish.
