Baked potatoes with Provençal herbs are a true embodiment of Mediterranean cuisine, filled with the aromas of sunny Italy. This simple yet exquisite recipe harks back to rustic traditions where herbs and olive oil transformed ordinary dishes into gastronomic masterpieces. Potatoes infused with a spicy bouquet of Provençal herbs, garlic, and a hint of cayenne pepper achieve a golden crust and rich flavor. Baking in the oven makes them soft inside and crispy outside, while adding fresh dill gives a spring freshness. The dish pairs perfectly with meat, fish, or vegetables and makes an excellent side for both cozy dinners and festive tables.
