Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes, washed and patted dry
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, divided
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Arrange a rack in the middle position of the oven and preheat to 425°F. Set aside an unlined baking sheet.
- Position one potato in between two chopsticks or skewers to prevent cutting too deep.
- Cut vertical slits (⅛ inch apart) in the potatoes, ensuring the bottom remains intact to create the decorative look.
- Repeat the cutting process for the remaining potatoes.
- Place the potatoes on the unlined baking dish.
- Use a basting brush to coat about half of the melted butter all over the potatoes, including the insides of the slits.
- Season the potatoes with salt and pepper to your liking.
- Bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, gently pull the layers apart to open the slits using a knife.
- Brush on the remaining melted butter onto the potatoes.
- Bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Serve warm, adding more salt and pepper to taste.
