Cheesy Garlic and Dill Roasted Red Potatoes
Ingredients:
20 garlic cloves, unpeeled
1 tbl olive oil
1 tbl water
Dill, fresh or dried
Salt and pepper to taste
3 tbl butter, room temperature
6-8 red potatoes (medium)
1/2 -3/4 cup fresh parmesan cheese, grated
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Farenheit. Combine garlic and oil in a small, ovenproof dish and cover tightly with foil. (If you don't have a dish, make several layers out of tinfoil, place the mixture within, and tightly bind together.) Bake until garlic is very tender, about 45-50 minutes. Cool slightly. Shell the garlic.
Transfer shelled garlic into a bowl and mash with a fork. Add the butter and whip until relatively smooth. Transfer garlic butter to a small bowl. (You can make this one day in advance. Cover the mixture and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before continuing.)
Heat oven to 500 degrees F, or set on Broil.
Quarter potatoes and place in a large pot of boiling salted water, cooking until just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and cool slightly.
Transfer to a large pan. Add garlic butter and toss. Sprinkle potatoes with dill, salt, and pepper to taste. Sprinkle on parmesan cheese. Place in the oven and broil for approximately 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is browned on top.
