Ingredients

  • 4 large russet potatoes

  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Pat dry with a paper towel.

  4. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  5. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the herb garlic mixture evenly over each potato, making sure to coat all sides.
  6. Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
  7. Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh herbs, if desired.
  8. Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy them as a snack. These herb garlic baked potatoes are best served fresh from the oven.
