10-12 small white, washed potatoes

Glaze Ingredients

1 minced garlic clove

2tbsp roughly chopped Rosemary

1/4tsp cumin

1tsp lemon zest

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

2. Place the potatoes into a large roasting pan and mix together all the glaze ingredients in a small bowl.

4. Roast potatoes for 45 to 50 minutes, basting them once with the remaining oil mixture halfway through cooking.
