Parmesan Baked Potatoes

Ingredients:

• 4 medium potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold work well)

• 3 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter

• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (or dried oregano/basil)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the potatoes:

   • Wash and scrub potatoes well.

   • Pat dry, then poke each potato several times with a fork.

3. Season the potatoes:

   • Rub the potatoes all over with olive oil or melted butter.

   • In a small bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper.

   • Sprinkle the Parmesan mixture evenly over the potatoes, pressing gently so it sticks.

4. Bake:

   • Place the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper.

   • Bake for about 45–60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender inside and the outside is crispy and golden brown.

   • You can test doneness by inserting a fork or skewer; it should go in easily.

5. Serve:

   • Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

   • Garnish with chopped parsley or chives if desired.

   • Enjoy as a side or a snack!
