Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and pat dry with a clean towel. For even cooking, ensure the potatoes are roughly the same size. If desired, use a fork to prick each potato a few times for steam to escape while baking.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and ground black pepper.
Step 4
Rub each potato with a thin layer of the seasoned olive oil mixture, ensuring the entire surface is coated. This will help achieve a crispy, flavorful skin.
Step 5
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack in the center of the oven for even heat circulation. Alternatively, use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easier clean-up.
Step 6
Bake the potatoes for about 60 minutes, or until the skins are crisp and the insides offer little resistance when pierced with a knife.
Step 7
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Using a sharp knife, make a lengthwise slit in the top of each potato and gently press the ends toward the center to open up the fluffy interior.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and additional black pepper, if desired. Serve warm, either as is or with your choice of low-sodium toppings like Greek yogurt or a squeeze of lemon juice.
