Baked potato with herb butter
- 4 large potatoes
- 125g salted butter
- Zest of half a lemon
- 100g wild herbs, preferably a mix
- A pinch of salt
- A pinch of black pepper
- Preheat your oven to 225 degrees Celsius.
- While the oven is preheating, cut up the butter in small cubes and place in a small bowl. Let it soften a bit.
- Once the oven has preheated, place the potatoes in a tray and put in the oven. Bake for about 60 minutes or until tender.
- While the potatoes are in the oven, chop the herbs finely and grate the lemon zest.
- Mix the butter, zest, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper. Make sure all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Place the butter in the fridge until the potatoes are baked.
- When the potatoes are cooked, take them out of the oven and cut a cross in the top of each one. Push the sides against each other, so the potato ‘opens’.
- Place a spoonful of the herb butter on the potato and serve.
Tips
This dish works well as a side to a grilled piece of meat or fish. The herb butter adds a twist to a variety of dishes, so it’s nice to have on hand.
