Oh my goodness, ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you about this absolutely divine family-style dinner that’ll have your loved ones fighting over the last bite! _winks_

Let me walk you through this show-stopping meal that’s become my family’s absolute favorite (and my husband’s not-so-subtle hint every special occasion 😉).
For the star of the show (serves 8-10):
– 5-6 lb prime rib roast
– 8 cloves of garlic, minced
– 3 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
– 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– And honey, don’t skimp on the seasonings!
For those heavenly potatoes:
– 3 lbs baby potatoes, halved
– 6 cloves garlic, whole
– 4 tablespoons butter
– Fresh rosemary sprigs
– Sea salt and black pepper

Now, let’s get cooking!
1. First things first – take that prime rib out of the fridge 2 hours before cooking. Nobody likes a cold shoulder, and your roast is no different!
1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). While it’s heating up, mix your garlic, herbs, and olive oil to make a paste.
1. Pat your roast dry (like, really dry) and generously season with salt and pepper. Then massage that herb mixture all over. Get in there, don’t be shy!
1. For the potatoes, toss them with melted butter, whole garlic cloves, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a large roasting pan.
1. Place your seasoned roast on top of the potatoes (fat side up, darling!) and pop it in the oven for 15 minutes at 450°F.
1. Lower the temperature to 325°F and cook for about 15 minutes per pound for medium-rare (internal temperature 135°F).
Pro tip: Use a meat thermometer, honey! Don’t play guessing games with this gorgeous piece of meat!
1. Let it rest for 15-20 minutes before cutting. I know it’s tempting, but patience is a virtue! This is the perfect time to pour yourself a glass of wine – you’ve earned it! 🍷
The potatoes should be perfectly roasted and infused with all those amazing drippings. If some are getting too brown, just give them a little stir halfway through cooking.
This meal is perfect for special occasions, Sunday family dinners, or when you really want to impress the in-laws (works every time, trust me! 😉).
Y’all, I can’t even tell you how many marriage proposals this recipe has earned me (too bad I’m already taken!). It’s that good!
