Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 6 large Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Scrub the potatoes clean under running water and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Slice the potatoes in half lengthwise, then score the flesh in a crisscross pattern to allow the flavors to seep in.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic (or press the garlic cloves), salt, and black pepper.
Brush the garlic oil mixture generously onto the cut sides of the potatoes. Make sure to get the oil evenly distributed.
Place the potatoes cut-side down onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 40 minutes or until the cut side is golden brown and crispy.
While the potatoes are baking, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and flip them over so the cut side is facing up.
Drizzle the melted parsley butter over each potato. Optionally, sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top for an extra layer of flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Garlic Baked Potatoes while they're hot and delicious.
