Baked sliced potatoes...

These potatoes were awful!!!!! I even put butter inbetween each slice .. They came out super dry and raw.. I drenched them with olive oil and baked an extra 10 mins.. nothing changed. If you think about it when u bake a potato its not sliced so in the inside can get hot and bake. If they're sliced they just dry up... 1 out of 10......Score:2






Ingredients (serves 4):
4 medium potatoes, scrubbed (leave skin on)
4 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
3 tbsp of olive oil
salt
pinch of smoked paprika
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
chopped chives for garnish


Preheat the oven to 425˚F (220ÂșC).
Slice each potato crosswise at 1/8-inch intervals, cutting to within 1/4 inch of the bottom.
Be careful not to slice all the way through. The potato will fan out a bit as it bakes.

Combine olive oil, garlic, salt, smoked paprika and parmesan cheese in a small bowl.

Lay the potatoes on a baking sheet. Carefully insert pinches of this mixture in between the slits of the potatoes. Rub the outsides of the potatoes with residual oil.

Bake for about 40-45 minutes. The inside should be cooked through and the outside of the potato should be a bit crispy.

Garnish with additional parmesan and chives!
