4 large russet potatoes
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
2-3 garlic cloves, minced (optional)
Salt and pepper, to preference
1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
1/2 teaspoon dried herbs (either thyme or rosemary)
Grated Parmesan cheese (optional for a cheesy touch)
Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)
Steps:
Heat It Up: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure a crispy exterior and fluffy center for your potatoes.
Potato Prep: Give your potatoes a good wash and dab them dry. Retain the skins for an extra burst of flavor and crunch. Carve thin slices into each potato, ensuring you don’t cut right through, leaving them connected at the base.
Seasoning Mix: Blend the olive oil, optional garlic, salt, pepper, optional paprika, and your choice of dried herb in a bowl.
Flavor Infusion: Lay the potatoes on a baking tray or dish. Thoroughly brush them with the olive oil mix, ensuring the flavors seep into the slices.
Crisping Time: Position the tray in your oven and let bake for around 40-45 minutes. You’re looking for soft interiors and golden, crisp edges.
