2To a large pot add 3 liters of water, salt and baking soda and bring to a boil.
3Peel and chop potatoes, then boil for 10-15 minutes until fork tender.
4Strain the potatoes, then shake to roughen the surface.
5Infuse the oil with garlic and rosemary.
6Fry until the garlic just begins to turn golden, then strain and set garlic/rosemary mixture aside.
7Add the potatoes to a baking sheet, drizzle with the infused oil, spread out evenly and bake for 50-60 minutes, turning them 2-3 times, every 20 minutes.

Tips
Boiling the potatoes with baking soda helps breaking down the pectin, creating a rough surface and thus more crispiness.
Strain and set garlic/rosemary mixture aside, so it doesn't burn in the oven.
