Ingredients:
4 medium-sized potatoes (Yukon gold or russet work best)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly.
3. Score the potatoes by making shallow crisscross cuts (about 1/4 inch deep) on the top side of each potato using a sharp knife.
4. Place the scored potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
5. Mix olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and rosemary in a small bowl.
6. Brush the seasoned oil generously over each potato, making sure it gets deep into the scored cuts.
7. Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
Tip: If the tops are browning too quickly, tent them loosely with foil to prevent burning.
Or, increase the oven temperature slightly for the last few minutes for extra crispiness.
Storage & Reheating Tips:
Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheat in Oven: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–15 minutes to restore crispiness.
Freeze: Wrap each cooled potato in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in the oven as above.
Microwave Tip: For a faster option, reheat in the microwave, but note the texture may be slightly softer.
