Here’s a simple, flavorful recipe for Garlic and Herb Baked Potatoes—crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and full of aroma.
🥔 Garlic & Herb Baked Potatoes
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes (any baking variety)
- 3–4 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
- 3–4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried oregano or Italian herbs
- 1 tsp dried rosemary (or fresh, finely chopped)
- Optional: paprika, chili flakes, grated parmesan
🔥 Instructions
1. Prep the potatoes
- Wash and scrub the potatoes well
- Pat dry
- Poke a few holes with a fork (helps steam escape)
2. Make the garlic herb coating
Mix in a bowl:
- olive oil or butter
- minced garlic
- salt, pepper
- herbs (rosemary, oregano, etc.)
3. Coat the potatoes
- Rub the mixture all over each potato
- Make sure they’re evenly coated for maximum flavor
4. Bake
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F)
- Place potatoes on a baking tray
- Bake for 45–60 minutes (depending on size)
✔ They’re done when a fork slides in easily and skin is crispy
5. Serve
- Slice open
- Fluff inside with a fork
- Add toppings like butter, sour cream, cheese, or extra herbs
💡 Tips for better results
- For extra crispy skin, sprinkle a little salt directly on the outside before baking
- Brush with butter halfway through baking for richer flavor
- Use smaller potatoes for faster cooking and crispier edges
If you want, I can also show:
- Air fryer version (faster + crispier)
- Restaurant-style loaded garlic potatoes
- Or a spicy version with chili and cheese
Just tell me 👍
