Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs) potatoes
- 1 bulb garlic
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1.5 lemons
- 1 bunch sage (20 g / 0.7 oz)
- olive oil
Instructions
- Preparation: Spread sage leaves across a spacious roasting tray, adding lemon zest, freshly squeezed juice, olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and separated garlic cloves to create a fragrant foundation.
- Potato Preparation: Cleanse potatoes under running water, then slice into uniform rounds, ensuring consistent thickness for even cooking and optimal texture.
- Grilling Phase: Heat griddle pan until smoking, sear potato slices to develop caramelized grill marks, transforming surfaces into golden-brown canvases of flavor, then transfer to roasting tray.
- Flavor Infusion: Cascade barbecue sauce over grilled potatoes, thoroughly coating each slice and integrating ingredients with precise tong movements to guarantee comprehensive coverage.
- Roasting Finale: Position oven rack at top level, preheat to 200 degrees Celsius, roast potatoes for 40-45 minutes until exterior turns golden and interior becomes tender, concluding by extracting mellow, soft garlic from its papery shell.
Notes
- Prep Potatoes Precisely: Slice potatoes uniformly at 1 cm thickness to guarantee even cooking and consistent texture throughout the dish.
- Grill with Purpose: Sear potato slices on high-heat griddle for 2-3 minutes per side to develop deep caramelization and enhance flavor profile before roasting.
- Sauce Coating Strategy: Ensure complete barbecue sauce coverage by using tongs to evenly distribute and massage sauce onto each potato slice for maximum flavor penetration.
- Garlic Flavor Bomb: Roast whole garlic cloves alongside potatoes, allowing them to soften and release a mellow, rich essence that infuses the entire dish with depth and complexity.
