3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Preparation procedure

Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Thoroughly wash and dry the potatoes.
Slice each potato lengthwise, but do not cut all the way through – the bottom must remain intact.
Cut the garlic into thin slices and place them into the cuts in the potatoes.
Prepare a mixture of the butter and oil. Stir in the oregano and salt.
Place the potatoes on a baking sheet, ideally in prepared small foil cups, and brush half of the mixture over them. Apply the rest evenly on top.
Bake for about 50 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and golden on the surface.
Let rest briefly, remove from the foil, and serve.
