Preparation

Preparation15 min

Cook time45 min

Preheat oven to 425 degrees; prepare a baking sheet by placing aluminum foil over it.
Take one potato and, starting at one end, make slits/cuts cut in the potato almost all the way through.

If the potatoes tend to roll around, slice a thin layer off the base (prior to cutting the slits) to give the potatoes a flat bottom.
Repeat with remaining potatoes. Brush olive oil and butter over the potatoes.

Over each potato, sprinkle with garlic, salt and pepper.
Arrange the potatoes on the baking sheet and place in the oven for 40-50 minutes or until the potatoes turn crispy and the inside is soft.
