Ingredients
  

Potato Skins
  • 4-6 pieces Russet potatoes Medium-sized
Herb Mixture
  • 3-4 cloves Garlic, minced Fresh garlic is preferred for best flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Dried herbs (thyme, rosemary, parsley) A sprinkle of each.
  • to taste Salt (kosher or flaky) Salt enhances the flavor; adjust to your preference.
  • to taste Black pepper, freshly cracked Adjust seasoning to preference.
Oil for Roasting
  • to taste Olive oil Good quality, extra-virgin works best.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and scrub the russet potatoes, then pierce each potato several times with a fork.
  3. Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, until tender.
  4. Allow potatoes to cool slightly before handling. Cut the potatoes in half and scoop out most of the insides, leaving a thin layer of potato skin.
Mixing
  1. In a bowl, mix the scooped-out potato with olive oil, minced garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper.
Roasting
  1. Brush the potato skins with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Place potato skins on a baking sheet and fill them with the herb and garlic mixture.
  3. Roast in the oven for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the skins are crispy and golden brown.
  4. Serve hot as an appetizer.

Notes

You can make the potato skins ahead of time and re-crisp them in the oven. For a sweeter variation, feel free to use sweet potatoes instead.
