Preparation
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Cut the top off the garlic. Place cut side down on a piece of tin foil on a baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, and top with olive oil. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until the garlic starts to pop out of the skin. Set aside.
While garlic is roasting, pierce potatoes with a fork twice each, then microwave on high for seven minutes.
Using a slotted spatula, gently squish the potatoes to make them a little flat.
Gently toss potatoes in olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Once garlic is done roasting, increase the oven temperature to 450° F. Bake potatoes in the oven for 10 minutes, flipping halfway on a parchment lined baking sheet.
