Next, place the roasting tray in the oven to heat up.
Drain the potatoes in a colander and give them a shake to fluff up the edges.
Sprinkle some semolina on top of the potatoes while shaking them again.
Leave the garlic cloves whole, but crush them lightly with the back of your hand or the flat side of a large knife.
Next, add the potatoes to the hot tray along with the garlic and the rosemary.
Shake the tray to coat the potatoes in fat and spread them out in a single layer so they can cook evenly.
Roast them for 40 to 45 minutes, turning them every 15 minutes until they are crisp and golden brown.
Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to serve.
To ensure a crispy outside and a fluffy inside to your potatoes, Gordon advised: “Shaking up the edges, coating in semolina and getting the fat really hot first all help ensure crispy, golden outsides while the middles remain fluffy.”
For a different flavour combination, the chef recommended swapping the garlic and rosemary for something spicier – toss the potatoes with half a teaspoon of turmeric and a pinch of chilli flakes before roasting.
