Scrub the potatoes clean under running water and pat them dry with a towel. Leave the skin on for a crispy texture.

Step 3

Using a fork, pierce each potato 6–8 times all around to allow steam to escape while baking.

Rub each potato with the olive oil mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 6

Place the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Break the rosemary sprigs into smaller pieces and scatter them around the potatoes on the baking sheet.

Step 8

Bake for 45–60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork and the skin is crispy.

Step 9

Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving for easier handling.

Serve the baked potatoes as is, or slice them open and top with your favorite garnishes like sour cream, shredded cheese, or butter.
