Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce the potatoes with a fork and bake for approximately 1 hour, or until tender. |
| 2 | Allow the potatoes to cool slightly, then cut them in half lengthwise. Gently scoop out the pulp, leaving about a 1/4-inch shell. Reserve the scooped-out pulp for another use. |
| 3 | Cut the potato skins in half lengthwise again, then slice them crosswise, resulting in 32 pieces in total. Brush the skins generously with olive oil. |
| 4 | Bake the oiled potato skins for 5 minutes to crisp them up. |
| 5 | In a bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, dried oregano, basil, and rosemary. |
| 6 | Remove the partially baked potato skins from the oven and evenly distribute the cheese mixture on top of each skin. |
| 7 | Drizzle a little more olive oil over the cheese-topped skins. |
| 8 | Set your oven to broil and place the potato skins back in the oven. Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. |
| 9 | Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. |
