Ingredients
  

4 medium-sized russet potatoes

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried rosemary)

1 teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for a cheesy twist)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Potatoes: Rinse and scrub the potatoes under cold water. Pat them dry with a towel.

      Make the Hasselback Cuts: Place a potato on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to make thin, even cuts about 1/8 inch apart along the length of each potato. Be careful not to cut all the way through; leave about ¼ inch at the bottom intact. To prevent cutting all the way through, you can place chopsticks or wooden spoons alongside the potato as a guide.

        Mix the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

          Brush the Potatoes: Place the cut potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Generously brush each potato with the garlic butter mixture, ensuring that the butter seeps into the cuts. Reserve some of the garlic butter for later.

            Bake the Potatoes: Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy on the outside and tender inside. Every 20 minutes, brush them with the reserved garlic butter to enhance flavor and crispness.

              Add the Parmesan (Optional): About 10 minutes before they are done, remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over them if desired. Place them back in the oven to melt the cheese.

                Garnish and Serve: Once the potatoes are cooked to perfection, remove them from the oven. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and an extra drizzle of garlic butter, if you like.

                  Enjoy: Serve hot as a scrumptious side dish for your favorite main course, or enjoy them as a delightful snack on their own!
