- 4 medium Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
Garlic Butter Mixture:
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Topping:
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash and dry the potatoes. Slice each potato thinly across the top, about 1/8 inch apart, without cutting all the way through.
- Make Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and thyme.
- Coat Potatoes: Brush the garlic butter mixture over the potatoes, ensuring it gets between the slices.
- Bake: Bake for 45–55 minutes, basting with more garlic butter occasionally.
- Add Topping: In the last 10 minutes, sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the potatoes and bake until golden and crispy.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with parsley before serving.
Notes
- Use chopsticks or wooden spoons to prevent cutting through the potato.
- Pair with sour cream or garlic aioli for dipping.
