Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 4 large Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes

Garlic and Seasoning

  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Cheese

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Optional Fresh Herbs

  • Fresh parsley, thyme, or rosemary for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Place each potato on a cutting board and carefully slice thinly about 1/8 inch apart, stopping just before cutting all the way through to keep the potato intact and allow it to fan out during baking.
  2. Prepare the Garlic and Oil Mixture: Finely mince the garlic cloves and mix with olive oil or melted butter. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, ensuring it’s well combined to coat the potatoes evenly.
  3. Season and Insert Garlic: Place the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the garlic-oil mixture generously over and inside each potato slice, rubbing some garlic bits between the slices to infuse maximum flavor and moisture.
  4. Bake the Potatoes: Bake the potatoes for 40-50 minutes, brushing them with additional garlic oil every 15 minutes. This process crisps the edges while softening the interior to a perfect tender consistency.
  5. Add Parmesan and Finish Baking: About 10 minutes before baking is complete, sprinkle a generous amount of grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese has melted and formed a golden, crispy crust.

Notes

  • Use chopsticks or wooden spoons on either side of the potatoes while slicing to prevent cutting all the way through.
  • Choose potatoes of similar size for even cooking.
  • Do not skip brushing with oil; it ensures crisp edges and prevents dryness.
  • Brush the potatoes frequently with garlic oil during baking to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for better melting and richer taste.
  • Allow the potatoes to rest a few minutes after baking for easier serving and enhanced flavor absorption.
