I’m sure you already have a go-to baked potato recipe. But trust me when I say I’ve found a new technique that’s worth trying. The recipe comes from—who else?—our home-cooking queen Ina Garten. Ina’s take on this classic is called Crusty Baked Potatoes with Whipped Feta. It originally appeared in her 2014 cookbook Make It Ahead.

Now I know what you’re thinking: It’s the feta. I don’t blame you. At first glance I’d also think the best part of this recipe is the whipped feta. But the real superstar is a citrusy herby coating that completely covers the potato skins making them flavorful and crispy in the oven. That’s how the potato magic happens.
