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.
