“This is Buzo’s most requested dish. The secret is to let the potatoes be the star; the rosemary and garlic are background flavours. Be careful choosing potatoes for this dish: russet Burbanks are the best. Check with your greengrocer for potatoes that will roast/fry well and remember, you can’t cook too many potatoes.”
