Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

4 medium-sized russet potatoes

Herb Butter Mixture

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon paprika

Garnish

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s ready for roasting the potatoes.
Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and dry the russet potatoes thoroughly. Using a sharp knife, make vertical slices about 1/4 inch apart into each potato, slicing deeply but not through the bottom, so the potato stays intact.
Make the Herb Butter Mixture: In a small mixing bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter with minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, ground black pepper, and paprika. Stir well to evenly mix the flavors.
Arrange and Brush Potatoes: Place the prepared potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Generously brush each potato with the herb butter mixture, making sure to brush between the slices. Reserve some of the mixture for basting during baking.
Roast the Potatoes: Roast in the preheated oven for about 45 to 50 minutes. Every 15 minutes, baste the potatoes with the reserved herb butter to keep them moist and flavorful. Roast until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside yet tender inside.
Finish and Serve: Remove the potatoes from the oven. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and fresh flavor. Serve hot as a delicious side dish.

Notes

Slice the potatoes carefully without cutting all the way through to maintain the traditional hasselback design.
Basting every 15 minutes helps keep the potatoes moist and enhances the flavor.
Russet potatoes work best for this recipe due to their starchy texture which crisps well in the oven.
You can substitute fresh herbs with dried herbs if fresh are unavailable, but reduce quantity by half.
This dish pairs beautifully with grilled meats and roasted vegetables.
