Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F.Wash and dry all produce. Garlic Guide in Step 3 (dbl each for 4 ppl) : 1/4 tsp mild, 1/2 tsp medium and 1 tsp extra! Cut potatoes into 1/4-inch thick wedges. Thinly slice basil leaves. Cut tomatoes into 1/4-inch pieces. Roughly chop olives. Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
