Ingredients
- 2 medium russet potatoes scrubbed and dried
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Chopped fresh parsley optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Place the oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the broiler to high (around 500°F). Line a broiler-safe pan with foil.
- Place the potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl and prick each one multiple times with a fork.
- Cook in the microwave on high for about 7 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are fork-tender.
- Allow the potatoes to cool until manageable, about 1-2 minutes. Cut each potato in half and score the surface with shallow cuts.
- Place them in a single layer on the prepared pan. Brush the cut sides with olive oil and season them with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, and smoked paprika.
- Broil for 10-15 minutes until the edges are golden and crispy, flipping them halfway through if necessary.
- Remove the potatoes from the broiler. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
