Ingredients
  

For the Potato Skins
  • 4 large russet potatoes Choose russet potatoes for their sturdy skins.
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed Feel free to experiment with fresh herbs.
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese Optional; can substitute with nutritional yeast for a dairy-free option.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Scrub the russet potatoes under running water to remove any dirt, then pat them dry. Poke several holes in each potato using a fork.
  3. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for about 45 minutes, until they are fork-tender. Let them cool for a few minutes.
  4. Once cool, cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides, leaving about ¼ inch of potato flesh on the skin.
Herb Mixture and Roasting
  1. Mix together olive oil, minced garlic, crushed rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
  2. Brush the herb mixture over the insides of the potato skins.
  3. Place the potato skins on a baking sheet, skin-side down, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if using, and roast for 15-20 minutes or until golden and crisp.
Serving
  1. Allow the potato skins to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!

Notes

Store leftover potato skins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for crispiness. You can prepare the skins a day in advance.
