Garlic Herb Hasselback Potatoes Crispy and Flavorful

Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• to taste salt and pepper
• for garnish fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat dry with a towel.
3. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the potatoes at 1/8 inch intervals, stopping about 1/4 inch from the bottom to leave the base intact. This will help them fan out during cooking.
4. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper.
5. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the garlic herb mixture generously over the potatoes, ensuring it seeps into the cuts. Drizzle any remaining oil over the top.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Baste with the oil and garlic mixture halfway through baking for extra flavor.
7. Once cooked, remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
