Instructions
- Preheat Oven:

- Bake:
- Place each potato on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper.
- Bake for 45–60 minutes, or until the potatoes are crispy on the edges and tender inside.
- Halfway through baking, brush more of the garlic butter mixture over the potatoes for extra flavor.
