  • ½ teaspoon pink or sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar or maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2-3 tablespoon olive oil Make sure all potatoes are covered

  • Peel garlic gloves and place in bowl.

Notes

* If available buy organic garlic. A lot of conventional garlic is doused in chemicals to stop sprouting and to whiten.
