Insalata di patate rostite - Roasted potato salad

This recipe is so easy that you'll feel silly that you didn't think of it yourself. A slight variation on Italian potato salad.

Ingredients for 4 persons:

Potatoes                                1 1/2 to 2 pounds (after peeling)

Garlic                                   3 or 4 cloves

Parsley (resh or dried)            1 handful (fresh)-as needed (dried)

Extra virgin olive oil               as needed

Butter or margarine                as needed

Salt                                       to taste

How to do it:

Wash and peel the potatoes.

Slice the potatoes into 1/4 inch slices (fairly thick)

Place the potato slices in a shallow pan.

Pour a line of oil over each slice and add several dots of butter or margarine to the potatoes.

Preheat your oven to 475 F.

Cover the potatoes with aluminum foil and put the pan in the hot oven.

Cook for about an hour or until tender.

Remove the foil.

Turn on the broiler and broil the potatoes until they are golden brown but too hard.

Remove them from the oven and let cool to room temperature or a little warmer.

Season them well with freshly chopped garlic and parsely or dry parsely, olive oil and salt to taste.
