Instructions
Take a large pot, add water and salt to it and bring to the boil. In the mean time you cut the potatoes a bit smaller. It helps if they're more or less evenly sized. Cut them in quarters or in half.
Preheat the oven to 200˚C (400˚F)
Cook the potatoes for roughly 8-10 minutes, drain and leave to steam dry slightly.
Spread them out over a baking tray and sprinkle with olive oil and pepper and salt. Use your hands to make sure it is all evenly distributed.
Divide the rosemary twigs and oregano over the potatoes. Slice the top of the ball of garlic and place on the baking tray as well.
Bake the potatoes in the oven for about 35-45 minutes. Turn them once or twice during the baking process.
