Trim tough outer leaves from fennel; reserve fennel fronds for garnish, if desired. Remove and discard stalks. Cut fennel bulbs in half lengthwise; discard core. Cut bulb halves in half lengthwise.
Arrange potatoes in a single layer in a jelly roll pan or large roasting pan coated with cooking spray; drizzle with oil. Remove white papery skin from garlic head. Separate and peel cloves.
