Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1.5 kg (3.3 pounds) potatoes
- 1 bulb of garlic
- 1 bunch of sage (20 grams / 0.7 ounces)
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 ½ lemons
Cooking Liquid:
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the aromatic base by scattering sage leaves in a spacious roasting tray. Using a vegetable peeler, carefully remove lemon zest and squeeze fresh lemon juice into the tray. Drizzle 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle a delicate pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, and gently separate the garlic bulb into individual cloves.
- Thoroughly rinse the potatoes under cool running water, then meticulously slice them into uniform 1 centimeter (0.4 inches) thick rounds, ensuring consistent cooking.
- Ignite a griddle pan over high heat until it reaches a searing temperature. Carefully place potato slices onto the hot surface, grilling for approximately 2-3 minutes per side to develop rich caramelized grill marks. Methodically transfer the charred potato slices into the prepared roasting tray.
- Generously drizzle barbecue sauce over the grilled potatoes, using tongs or a spatula to ensure each slice is evenly coated and thoroughly integrated with the other ingredients.
- Activate the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit), positioning the rack at the top level. Slide the loaded roasting tray into the preheated oven and roast for 40-45 minutes, periodically checking to achieve a golden-brown exterior and tender interior. Upon completion, gently squeeze the now-soft roasted garlic cloves from their papery skins, releasing their rich, mellow flavor.
