Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Place a potato between two chopsticks or wooden spoons to act as a stopper to prevent cutting all the way through.

Carefully make thin, parallel cuts across each potato, ensuring not to slice all the way through, leaving the bottom intact.

In a bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper.

Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and brush them generously with the herb-garlic butter mixture, ensuring the flavors get between the slices.

Bake for about 50-60 minutes until the edges are crispy, and the insides are tender. Baste the potatoes with the remaining butter mixture halfway through the cooking process.

Once done, remove the potatoes from the oven, sprinkle with additional fresh herbs if desired, and serve hot.
