Ingredients
- 1 small shallot, minced
- 1/4 cup organic unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh sage
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 6 red potatoes, scrubbed
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 375°F. In a small bowl, combine shallots, butter, thyme, sage, pepper and salt.
- Make 10 to 12 deep slits crosswise in each potato, being careful not to cut all the way through. Smear 2 tsp butter mixture into slits of each potato. Wrap each potato in a square of foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake until potatoes are tender, about 35 to 40 minutes.
