If you've ever seen potatoes like this on recipe blogs and wondered how the heck they did it, read on for all the tips and tricks. Hint: chopsticks are involved.
Ingredients
- 5–6 russet potatoes, washed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt & pepper
For the Garlic Herb and Truffle Butter:
- 3 tbsp of melted unsalted butter
- 1 tsp truffle oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 2–3 tbsp of parmesan cheese (optional)
- Parsley, to garnish
- Tools:
- Roasting Dish
- Cut-Resistant Glove
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Rinse and pat dry potatoes.
- Using two chopsticks, place one on either side of the potato. This will create a natural stop for your knife, so you don’t cut all the way through. Repeat this process with all of your potatoes.
- Place potatoes in a baking dish. Brush potatoes with olive oil and generously season with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, add melted butter, truffle oil, garlic, fresh rosemary, and fresh thyme. Stir together.
- Brush butter mixture over each potato, making sure that the butter gets into the crevices of each potato slice.
- Bake, uncovered, for 40-50 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender.
- Garnish with more grated parmesan and parsley and serve.
