This is a very easy way to give the bland potato a lot of new flavour. The light coating of butter and cheese given the potatoes a crisp outside. This recipe can also be microwaved. See Microwave Sliced Baked Potatoes.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

4 medium baking potatoes (evenly-sized)
1 teaspoon salt
2-3 tablespoons melted butter
2-3 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (ie parsley, chives, thyme, sage) or 2 teaspoon dried herbs, of your choice
4 tablespoons grated cheddar cheese
1 1/2 tablespoons parmesan cheese

Directions

1
Preheat over 425 degrees F.
2
Peel potatoes, if the skin is too tough, otherwise just scrub and rinse them.
3
Cut potatoes into thin slices, but NOT all the way through.
4
(Place a handle of a spoon or table knife along-side the potatoe to prevent the knife from slicing all the way.) Put Potatoes in a baking dish; slightly fan out the slices.
5
Sprinkle with salt and drizzle with butter.
6
Sprinkle with herbs.
7
Bake potatoes (425 F) for about 50 minutes.
8
Remove from oven.
9
Sprinkle with cheeses.
10
Bake potatoes for another 10 to 15 minutes until lightly browned, cheeses are melted and potatoes are soft inside.
11
Check for doneness with a fork or skewer.

Keep forgetting to rate this recipe. Made these at least 5 times now. They are great. I melt butter with some chopped garlic and brush on top of potatoes, then at the end of 50 min. I sprinkle with the 2 cheeses and put back in oven for 10-15 min. as per instructions. Thanks for posting a great recipe. Crisp on the outside and tender and creamy on the inside.

I used the toaster oven to cook mine, which turned out ok. I was a little disappointed with how dry they turned out. I think I will go back to normal baked potatoes next time. Thanks anyway.

Excellent baked potato recipe. I substituted the butter with the leftover oil from a jar of sundried tomatoes but other kept to the recipe. The potatoes look most impressive. Good enough for dinner parties.

These potatoes were great, making slices in the potato is such a wonderful idea, I was able to get the spices into and on every slice....I used fresh minced garlic, with chopped green onions along with thyme and seasoning salt, drizzled them with melted butter, and grated cheese (I used mozza cheese) then popped them in the oven, I baked mine at 350 degrees, I thought that they might get too brown and dry at a higher temp. they took approx. 1 hour to bake...I made these to go with your delicious Fireplace chicken Fireplace Chicken... Instead of rice we had these potatoes...this is a wonderful potato recipe, one that I will be making again ...thank you Toolbelt for a wonderful dinner, my family enjoyed it so much
