The other day I urgently needed to cook something for lunch, but there was no time for it. This recipe just helped me out! Everything is simple here, there is a minimum of active actions, and the oven does the cooking. Great option) I didn’t have fresh rosemary, so I sprinkled dried rosemary on top of the oiled potatoes and also added salt and paprika. I baked it for an hour just like in the recipe, I just had time to do other things) I think I went too far with rosemary) By the end of baking there was such a strong aroma throughout the house that at first I didn’t understand where it came from. And it smelled of pine and citrus! I guessed that it was rosemary that gave such a smell, then I looked it up on the Internet, and it turned out to be true. Surprisingly) The jacket potatoes in foil turned out to be very tasty, not to mention the aroma))) Everyone had lunch together, dipping the potatoes in ketchup, it was delicious! The recipe is convenient in its simplicity.
