Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 whole Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 ounces Raclette cheese
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut the potatoes in half and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the potatoes. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Place the garlic cloves (unpeeled) on a sheet of aluminum foil and drizzle with a small amount of olive oil. Wrap the garlic tightly in the foil.
Transfer the coated potatoes to a baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer. Place the foil-wrapped garlic on the same baking sheet.
Roast the potatoes and garlic in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through for even browning.
While the potatoes are roasting, slice the Raclette cheese into thin, even pieces and set aside.
After 30 minutes, remove the garlic from the oven. Carefully unwrap the foil and let the garlic cool slightly. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and mash them into a paste using a fork.
Remove the baking sheet with potatoes from the oven. Spread the roasted garlic paste evenly over the potatoes, tossing lightly to coat.
Arrange the thin slices of Raclette cheese over the potatoes, ensuring they are evenly covered.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh thyme if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy this cheesy, garlicky goodness!
