I made this according to the directions, but the potatoes were way overcooked. It was probably just me. I'll definitely try these again, just cook for less time than the recipe calls for.

    I am writing from Romania. Absolutely delicious! And so easy to make. I used thyme and it was excellent. Next time I think I will try rosemary. Thank you so much for sharing.

    How grand when something that looks and tastes so gourmet can be added to a menu 15 minutes before serving time! I would not have thought of adding the butter before baking, but it browned wonderfully and added a depth of flavor that really helped make the dish. I used garlic, thyme, rosemary and just a touch of Greek oregano and freshly ground pepper. I think the only change I will make next time is to perhaps double the toppings and/or make sure that I really open up the cuts in the potatoes so that the flavor can really permeate every bite. Thanks so much for posting!

    Great way to dress up baked potatoes! I used Cavender's Greek Seasoning in place of the herbs. I'll definitely make these again!! Thanks Toolbelt Diva!
