Potatoes with smoked garlic

Smoked garlic is not something I've come across before and was rightly sceptical to see Nigel's assertion that most supermarkets sell it - not up north they don't Nigel.  However, it was Nigel's comment about how he used to pick these up from fish smokeries which led me as a final resort to visit my local fishmonger and lo and behold there was a whole bag of them, minding their own business hanging from a shelf.  I nearly did a jig, I was so delighted.  Now that I've made this dish though I'm not convinced that normal garlic wouldn't have done the job just as well but there you go.  This went down a treat in my house tonight and i'll definitely make it again.
