Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and scrub the russet potatoes, dry them, and pierce several times with a fork. Bake for 45–60 minutes until tender.
  3. Let the potatoes cool for about 10 minutes, then cut in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving ¼ inch intact.
  4. Mix olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  5. Brush the herb oil mixture inside each potato skin until evenly coated.
  6. Place brushed skins cut-side up on a baking sheet. Roast for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway.
  7. Optionally, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over skins in the last 5 minutes of roasting.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with your favorite dips.
