For the potatoes:
4 large potatoes, peeled, washed, cut into slices
8 large garlic cloves, minced
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Coat a large (23 x 33 cm) baking dish with a thin layer of olive oil.
2. In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried rosemary.
3. Place the potato wedges in an oiled baking dish and sprinkle with the spice mixture. Toss to evenly distribute the spices.
