Garlic and Herb Baked Potatoes

 

Prepare the Potatoes:

Rinse the potatoes thoroughly. Slice them lengthwise, but don’t cut all the way through – leave the bottom intact.

Add Garlic:

Thinly slice the garlic cloves. Insert the minced garlic into the slits of each potato.

Foil Setup:

Create small cups or boats using aluminum foil for each potato and place them on a baking sheet.

Butter-Oil Mixture:

In a bowl, combine the melted butter, vegetable oil, salt, and oregano. Stir well.

Coat the Potatoes:

Drizzle a portion of the butter-oil mixture over the potatoes, making sure to get some in the slits. Use a brush to evenly coat the rest of the potatoes.

Bake:

Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes or until they are tender and golden brown.

Serve:

Let the potatoes cool slightly, then serve directly from the foil or transfer to a serving dish.

Serving Suggestions:

Pair with grilled chicken, fish, or a fresh salad.

Add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt for extra tang.

Serve with a hearty stew or soup for a complete meal.

Tips:

Make deep enough cuts in the potatoes to hold the garlic, but avoid cutting all the way through.

Enjoy your flavorful garlic and herb baked potatoes!
