Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons oil
  • 1/4 cup kosher salt (table salt won't work here)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tsp each rosemary and thyme
  • Cracked black pepper to taste
  • Freshly grated parmesan to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  2. Wash and dry the potatoes well, but do not peel them. The skin needs to be dry so the oil and salt stick properly. Place the oil and salt in two separate small bowls. Roll the potatoes first in the oil then coat them well with salt. Transfer to a large baking dish and put the lid on. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the potatoes are very tender.
  3. While potatoes are baking, combine the butter and herbs together.
  4. Brush as much salt as you can off the potatoes and transfer to a serving plate. Gently push/smash open the potatoes to create a seam. Pour in the melted butter mixture and season with the black pepper and parmesan. Enjoy!
