Garlic and Herb Baked Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 4 medium russet potatoes (washed and scrubbed)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter)
  • 4 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (or fresh, chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley (or fresh, chopped)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Prepare potatoes: Using a fork, poke a few holes in each potato. Slice them in half lengthwise (or leave whole if you prefer).
  3. Make the garlic herb mixture: In a small bowl, mix olive oil (or melted butter), minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  4. Coat the potatoes: Place potatoes on the baking sheet, cut side up. Brush generously with the garlic herb mixture, making sure the herbs and garlic stick well.
  5. Bake: Roast in the preheated oven for 40–50 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden, crispy on the edges, and tender inside.
  6. Optional: Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a bit of extra fresh herbs just before serving.
  7. Serve: Enjoy warm as a delicious side dish with your favorite main course!
