Bake for 35–45 minutes, until the bottoms are deeply golden and crisp and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Avoid flipping or moving the potatoes while baking — this ensures a crust forms.

6. Cool and Release

Let the tray cool for 5–7 minutes after baking.

Then, gently loosen each potato with a spatula to preserve the crust.

7. Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley

Serve immediately with a side of sour cream, aioli, or garlic yogurt dip

Variations:

Cheesy twist: Add a bit of shredded mozzarella or cheddar over the tops in the last 5 minutes.

Spicy version: Use cayenne pepper or chili powder.

Vegan option: Use vegan Parmesan or nutritional yeast + oil instead of butter.
