ROASTED POTATOES WITH CARAMELIZED GARLIC

6 To 8 red boiling potatoes unpeeled, in 1" chunks
4 tbsp Olive oil
16 To 18 garlic cloves peeled and sliced
1 tbsp Sugar
1/4 c Balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp White wine
1/3 c Chopped fresh basil
Freshly ground pepper
1 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley

Put 2 tbsp. olive oil in the bottom of a 9 x 13" baking dish; heat in oven for 5 minutes. Add potatoes, tossing to coat them. Roast potatoes, turning occasionally, at 425 F. for 30 to 35 minutes or until tender.

While potatoes are baking, prepare garlic. In a small skillet, heat 2 tbsp. olive oil; add garlic. Cover pan and cook over very low heat for 5 to 8 minutes until garlic is tender. Sprinkle with sugar and stir until garlic is golden. Add vinegar, wine and basil.

Simmer 2 minutes. Spoon over roasted potatoes.
Sprinkle with pepper and parsley; serve.
