Description
Crispy Garlic Herb Roasted Potato Skins are baked to golden perfection and tossed in a flavorful mix of garlic, herbs, and Parmesan. They’re the ultimate savory snack or appetizer—crunchy on the outside, tender inside, and perfect for dipping.
Ingredients
- 4–5 medium russet potatoes
- 2–3 tbsp olive oil (plus more for brushing)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme or rosemary
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Optional: sour cream or dipping sauce for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scrub potatoes clean, prick with a fork, and bake whole for 40–45 minutes until tender.
- Cool slightly, then slice in half lengthwise and scoop out the centers, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato around the skin.
- Brush both sides of the skins with olive oil and place cut-side down on the baking sheet.
- Roast for 10–15 minutes until the edges are golden and crisp.
- Meanwhile, mix 2–3 tbsp olive oil with minced garlic, dried herbs, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Flip the potato skins, brush with the garlic herb oil, and roast for an additional 5–10 minutes.
- Sprinkle with Parmesan and fresh parsley just before serving.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce if desired.
Notes
- Use the scooped-out potato flesh for mashed potatoes, soup, or fritters.
- Add shredded cheese or bacon before the final roast for a loaded version.
- Air fryer option: crisp at 400°F (200°C) for 5–8 minutes per side.
- Fresh herbs add brightness, but dried herbs work well too—just use less.
- Avoid microwaving leftovers—reheat in oven or air fryer for best texture.
