Parmesan Baked Potato Halves
Description
These potatoes will quickly become a family favorite, and they are great for guests, as well. By cooking them cut side down, they get a nicely browned Parmesan crust, which is what makes them so special.
Ingredients
6 medium to long baking potatoes, scrubbed and cut in half
1/4 c. butter
1/2-3/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese
garlic powder, to taste
seasonings, like rosemary, thyme basil, oregano, to taste
sour cream or Ranch dressing, for dipping
chives, chopped, if desired

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Wash and pat potatoes dry with paper towels. Cut potatoes into halves, the long way.
Melt butter; pour into a 9 x 13 inch baking pan that has been lined with aluminum foil; spread evenly across the bottom. Generously sprinkle Parmesan cheese and desired seasonings over the butter.
Place potato halves face down on the butter and seasonings. Bake 40 - 45 minutes.
Cool for at least a full 5 minutes before removing from the pan, otherwise the Parmesan crust will not stick to the potato.
Serve on a plate with a side of Ranch dressing or sour cream for dipping. Garnish with chopped chives, if desired.
*Makes a great side dish or appetizer.
