• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Optional: fresh parsley or chives, for garnish
• Optional: sour cream, shredded cheese, or Greek yogurt for serving

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Prep the potatoes: Using a fork, poke a few holes in each potato to allow steam to escape.
3. Make the garlic-herb oil: In a small bowl, mix olive oil (or melted butter), minced garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper.
4. Rub each potato with the garlic-herb mixture, making sure to coat the skin thoroughly.
5. Bake the potatoes directly on the baking sheet for 45–60 minutes, or until the skins are crisp and a knife slides easily into the center.
6. Serve hot, split open and garnished with extra herbs or your favorite toppings.
