Preheat your oven to 450 F, or 425 F convection. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
To Oil-Free Roast the Potatoes and Garlic: Wash the potatoes and cut in half. Toss the potatoes with the dried rosemary, salt and pepper. Place the potatoes in a single layer on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Wrap the head of garlic with foil and add a couple tablespoons of water to the foil packet. Place the garlic on the sheet pan with the potatoes.
Place in the oven and roast, tossing every 15 minutes.
After 30 minutes, check your head of garlic. It should be well-browned and soft. Remove from the oven and let cool.
Continue roasting the potatoes, until well-browned and a knife easily slides in and out. It usually takes about 40-45 minutes total for the potatoes to be done.
While the potatoes finish roasting, peel the garlic cloves and transfer into a small bowl. Mash the garlic with a spoon. Season with salt and pepper.
When the potatoes pass the Knife-Glide check for doneness, remove them from the oven. Immediately toss them with the mashed garlic paste.
