30 minutes

This simple yet exquisite recipe combines the tenderness of potatoes, the creamy texture of mayonnaise, and the aroma of Provençal herbs, creating a harmony of flavors reminiscent of sunny Italy. While traditional Italian cuisine is known for pasta and pizza, Provençal herbs are widely used in Mediterranean dishes, adding sophistication. Baked potatoes under mayonnaise develop a pleasant golden crust while retaining softness inside. This dish is perfect as a standalone side or an accompaniment to meat and vegetables. Quick preparation in the microwave makes it convenient for everyday dinners. It’s best enjoyed hot, savoring the rich aroma of herbs and the tenderness of potatoes that literally melt in your mouth.
