Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Wash the potatoes thoroughly, scrubbing off any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Rub the oil mixture all over the potatoes to coat them evenly.

Step 4

Using a fork, poke several holes into each potato to allow steam to escape while baking.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir well to create the coating mixture.

Step 6

Roll each oiled potato in the coating mixture, pressing gently to adhere the mixture to the potato skins.

Step 7

Place the coated potatoes on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are well-spaced for even cooking.

Step 8

Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, or until the skins are golden and crispy, and a fork easily pierces through the potatoes.

Step 9

Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with the freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with your choice of toppings, such as sour cream, butter, or shredded cheese, if desired.
