Mix the olive oil, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Blend together well. Brush the seasoned olive oil mixture over the potatoes in a careful manner, being sure to get it between the slices and all over the potatoes.
5th Step
Put the potatoes on a baking dish or a baking sheet and put them in the oven. Bake the potatoes in an oven that has been warmed to approximately 450 degrees for 45 to 55 minutes, or until they are crisp on the exterior and soft on the inside. The doneness of the potato may be determined by sliding a knife or fork into it; the implement should slide in without any resistance.
6th Step
If you want a cheesy, golden finish, you may sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the potatoes around ten minutes before they are done cooking. This will give them a golden color.
7th Step
After removing the dish from the oven, add some chopped fresh parsley as a garnish for a flavorful and visually appealing finishing touch. The sliced baked potatoes should be served hot. To give even more depth to the taste, serve with a dollop of sour cream or your preferred dipping sauce on the side.
