Recipe Notes
Have used a cast iron pan to roast potatoes, it gives very good results better than the aluminium tray. One can use a casserole tray also for this it works well.
One can use parchment paper or baking silicone pad instead of the foil.
Do keep checking in between when they are being roasted in the oven to avoid charring.
If required sprinkle some oil when removed for tossing in between.
Use fresh and unpeeled garlic pods so they don’t get burned in the roasting process.
