Ingredients

  • 8 medium russet potatoes

Olive oil mixture

  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • zest, of 1 lemon
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ½ teaspoon cumin powder

Garlic herb butter

  • 6 tablespoon salted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoon oregano, fresh, chopped
  • 2 tablespoon dill, fresh, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced

For garnish

  • a squeeze of lemon
  • ½ block of feta cheese, crumbled

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425º. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Prepare potatoes

  • Don’t peel your potatoes, but make sure they are thoroughly washed.
  • Place two chopsticks or wooden dowels on your cutting board.
  • Place your potato between the chopsticks and cut ⅛ in slices along the potato. The chopsticks ensure that they do not go all the way through.
  • The bottom part of the potato should remain uncut. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet.

Make olive oil mix

  • In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, cumin, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Drizzle (or brush) with the olive oil mix, making sure you get the oil between all the slices.

Make herb garlic butter

  • In a small bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the fresh herbs and garlic.

Oven method

  • Bake the potatoes for 45-50 minutes.
  • Remove the potatoes from the oven and brush the herb garlic butter over each potato.
  • Generously sprinkle with salt. Place the potatoes back in the oven and cook for another 25-30 minutes or until the slices become crispy around the edges.
  • Add a squirt of freshly squeezed lemon juice to each potato and top with more chopped herbs and crumbled feta. Enjoy!

Air fryer method

  • Brush the cut potatoes with herb garlic butter and place them inside the air fryer.
  • Bake them at 400 F for 30 minutes until the outside is crispy and the inside is melt in your mouth tender. That is it...
