- floury potatoes - Maris Piper or King Edward (1.2 Kg/ 2.6 lbs.)
- olive oil (100 g/7 tablespoons)
- semolina (2 tablespoons)
- garlic cloves (2)
- rosemary
- Salt and pepper

- Bring it to a boil and leave to simmer for six minutes.
- Add the oil to a large roasting tray and place it in the oven to heat up.
- Drain the potatoes and give them a gentle shake to fluff up the edges before sprinkling over the semolina.
- Shake the spuds again to coat evenly then leave to steam dry for just five minutes.
- Leave the garlic cloves whole but crush lightly with the back of your hand, then carefully add the potatoes to the hot oil tray along with the garlic and rosemary.
- Toss to coat in the fat and spread out in a single layer so they cook evenly.
