Parmesan Baked Potato Halves

“A friend of mine made these for us for dinner a while back…she finally gave me the recipe…these make a perfect side dish…and are company worthy…she didn’t really give me any measurement except for the amount of potatoes.”

Ingredients

  •  1 1/2 pounds potatoes (scrubbed and cut in half, 6 small)
  •  1/4 cup butter
  •  1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  •  1 teaspoon garlic powder
  •  1 teaspoons oregano (or seasoning of your choice)

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Step 2

Melt butter and pour into a 9X13 inch pan and spread evenly across the bottom.

Step 3

Generously sprinkle Parmesan cheese and lightly sprinkle other seasonings all over the butter.

Step 4

Place potato halves face down on the butter and seasonings.

Step 5

Place in preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes.

Step 6

Cool for at least a FULL 5 minutes before removing from the pan, otherwise the Parmesan crust won’t stick to the potato.

Step 7

Serve on a plate with a side of sour cream for dipping.
