Ingredients

Main Ingredients

4 medium medium-sized russet potatoes Choose uniform-sized potatoes for even cooking.
3 tablespoons olive oil Extra virgin olive oil is recommended for best flavor.
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons fresh herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, or parsley) Feel free to experiment with different herb combinations.
2 tablespoons melted butter For a vegan option, replace with extra olive oil or vegan butter.

Optional Toppings

to taste grated Parmesan cheese Use halal alternatives as necessary.
to taste sour cream
to taste crispy bacon bits Use halal alternatives as necessary.

Instructions

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Using a sharp knife, carefully make thin slices in each potato, about 1/8 inch apart, ensuring you don't cut all the way through, leaving about 1/4 inch at the bottom intact.
You can place wooden spoon handles or chopsticks on either side of the potato to prevent slicing all the way through.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, pepper, and melted butter. Add half of the chopped herbs to the mixture.
Brush the potato generously with the oil mixture, coating all the slices and allowing some of the oil to seep into the gaps.

Baking

Place the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-50 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden-brown and the edges are crispy.
During the last 10 minutes of baking, sprinkle the optional grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes if desired.

Serving

Remove from the oven, garnish with the remaining fresh herbs, and serve warm.

Notes

For extra crispiness, you can broil the potatoes for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking. Just keep an eye on them! If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
