How to Make Awesome Crusty Baked Potatoes

  1. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and let it infuse for 15 minutes.
  2. In a shallow dish, combine 1 cup of breadcrumbs, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley, and 1/4 teaspoon of paprika.
  3. Wash, peel, and thoroughly pat dry 4 large russet potatoes. Leave them whole.
  4. Roll the potatoes in the garlic butter, ensuring they are evenly coated. Then, roll them in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. Place the potatoes in a shallow, buttered casserole dish. Pour any remaining garlic butter into the bottom of the dish.
  6. Cover the casserole dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40 minutes.
  7. Uncover the dish and bake for another 20 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through to ensure even browning and crispy crusts.
