Description

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a large baking tray with a lipped edge with parchment paper.
• Wash the potatoes and slice either in half or thirds depending on how long they are. Each one you bake should be about 2 inches high. You can peel them or just leave the skins on and eat around it.
• Lay the 12 sliced potatoes in a grid pattern on the baking tray.
• Melt the butter and generously brush each potato multiple times with the butter saving some for the next step.
• Press about 2 tablespoons of brown sugar onto the top of each potato and drizzle with more butter.
• Sprinkle the fresh herbs all over the potatoes followed by the salt and black pepper.
• Sprinkle some cinnamon onto each potato.
• Bake in the oven for 50 minutes and then turn down the oven to 325 degrees. Cover the potatoes loosely with foil and bake for a further 30 minutes or until the potatoes are very soft when pierced with a sharp pointed knife.
• Serve at once brushing the potatoes gently with some of the herb butter from the pan if desired.
