Ingredients
  

6 medium-sized Russet potatoes

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

6 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried rosemary)

1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Potatoes: Scrub the Russet potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel and poke several holes in each potato using a fork. This allows steam to escape during baking.

      Make the Garlic Butter Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.

        Coat the Potatoes: Arrange the potatoes on a large baking sheet. Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over each potato, making sure to cover them completely. If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top for added flavor.

          Bake the Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake the potatoes for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender and the skin is crispy. The exact baking time may vary depending on the size of your potatoes.

            Garnish and Serve: Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Cut a slit down the center of each potato and gently squeeze the ends to open them up. Drizzle any remaining garlic butter from the baking sheet on top and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

              Enjoy: Serve these Baked Garlic Butter Potatoes warm as a delightful side dish or as a hearty snack. They pair perfectly with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
