Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Thoroughly wash and scrub the potatoes to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Puncture each potato several times with a fork, creating small holes to allow steam to escape during baking.
Rub each potato with olive oil to coat evenly, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried rosemary.
Place the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 70 to 75 minutes, or until the skins are crispy and the insides are tender. Test for doneness by inserting a fork into the center; it should glide in easily.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Slice a cross on the top of each potato and gently squeeze to open.
Optionally, add a small pat of butter to each potato for richness. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the batata inglesa assada as a delicious side dish to complement meats, fish, or vegetarian main courses.
