Ingredients
  • 1 head garlic
  • ¼ cup olive oil, plus more to drizzle
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 3 russet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon za'atar
  • Salt and pepper
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper
  3. Slice the top ¼-inch off the head of garlic to expose the tops of the cloves.
  4. Drizzle with enough olive oil to coat the open cloves.
  5. Wrap the garlic loosely in foil, making sure there is some room for steam to build.
  6. Place the garlic on the oven rack and roast for 45 minutes until the cloves are golden brown.
  7. When the garlic is done, squeeze the cloves into a shallow bowl and mash with a wooden spoon.
  8. Transfer the cloves to a container with a lid and add about ¼ cup of olive oil and ⅛ teaspoon of salt to create a garlic-infused oil. Cover and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
  9. Cut the potatoes into wedges.
  10. Place the potato wedges in a large bowl of ice water and soak them for at least 15 minutes.
  11. Drain the potatoes, lay them out on a dish towel, and pat them to dry.
  12. Increase the oven temperature to 425 F.
  13. Toss the dried potato wedges with the garlic-infused oil, za'atar, and a few pinches of salt and black pepper until evenly coated.
  14. Spread the wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet skin-side down.
  15. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes.
  16. Serve warm garnished with optional chopped chives if desired.
