We really enjoyed these. Not only do they taste wonderful, but they look so fancy too. And yet they are very quick and easy to make. I used dried herbs, using one teaspoon each of italian herbs and parsley. I liked the technique of using a spoon to keep from slicing all the way through the potato - I used a wooden spoon.

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.

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!
