Cut the potatoes into wedges about 2\u20133 cm thick at their widest point. Large potatoes may need eight wedges and smaller ones four. Dry thoroughly with a clean towel.<\/li>\n<li>Toss the wedges with the oil, salt and pepper. Arrange on a metal roasting tray in one layer, with space between them and a cut side against the tray. Use two trays if necessary.<\/li>\n<li>Roast for 20 minutes. Turn the wedges with a spatula, then add the garlic and rosemary, coating them in the oil on the tray.<\/li>\n<li>Roast for another 15\u201325 minutes until golden and easily pierced through the centre with a fork. Remove any garlic or herbs that start to burn. Serve hot, squeezing the cooked garlic from its skin if you wish.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Why do the potatoes turn soft rather than crisp?<\/h2>\n<p>Excess moisture, crowded wedges and an oven that is not hot enough hinder browning. Do not cover during roasting. Turn with a utensil; never hold hot potatoes in your hand to test the texture.<\/p>\n<h2>Storage<\/h2>\n<p>Keep covered in the fridge at 0\u20135\u00b0C and eat within 48 hours. Cool cooked food promptly and refrigerate within 2 hours, using shallow containers where needed. Mixing leftovers with new ingredients does not restart their storage time. Also follow any shorter use-by instructions on the packaging.<\/p>\n<p>Storage guidance: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/publications\/how-to-chill-freeze-and-defrost-food-safely\/how-to-chill-freeze-and-defrost-food-safely\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Food Standards Agency<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Can I replace the rosemary?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, add the leaves from 2 thyme sprigs at the same stage.
