Garlic and Herb Baked Potatoes

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
   • Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
   • Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly.
   • Slice each potato lengthwise, but not all the way through, leaving them attached at the bottom.
2. Add Garlic:
   • Chop the garlic finely.
   • Insert the chopped garlic into the slits of each potato.
3. Prepare the Foil:
   • Cut pieces of aluminum foil into small cups or boats.
   • Place each potato in a foil boat and arrange them on a baking sheet.
4. Make the Butter and Oil Mixture:
   • In a small bowl, mix melted butter and vegetable oil.
   • Add salt and oregano, stirring to combine.
5. Drizzle and Coat:
   • Drizzle the butter mixture over the potatoes, ensuring it seeps into the slits.
   • Use a brush to evenly coat the entire potato.
6. Bake:
   • Sprinkle extra salt if desired.
   • Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and golden.
7. Serve:
   • Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly.
   • Serve hot directly from the foil or transfer to a serving dish.

Serving Suggestions:

• Pair with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or fresh salads.
• Add sour cream or Greek yogurt for extra flavor.
• Serve alongside soups or stews for a hearty meal.
