Years ago I came across this recipe for Baked Parmesan Potato Halves in a Taste of Home magazine and decided to give it a try. Instantly they were a huge hit!

We all love potatoes and parmesan cheese here so the fact the recipe was such a success was not really that much of a surprise.

I have adapted the original recipe over time and make these potatoes with every size potato I am in the mood for or have on hand. As you can imagine they all taste amazing!

I can never make enough of them and sometimes I even wish there were leftovers but there never is. That is probably a good thing because I am pretty sure I would eat one right now. These potatoes taste that good.

Ingredients in Baked Parmesan Potato Halves

• potatoes
• butter
• parmesan cheese
• garlic powder
• italian seasoning

How to make Baked Parmesan Potato Halves

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Prepare a pan with tinfoil that will fit all of your halved potatoes.

Melt butter in the microwave and pour into your pan.

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

I use garlic powder and Italian seasoning, you can use whatever you prefer.

Place potato halves face down on the butter, parmesan and seasonings.

Place in oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, when potatoes are tender.

Allow potatoes to stay in the pan for at least 5 minutes after removing from the oven.

If you remove the potatoes too soon the parmesan wont stick to them.

Serve with sour cream if desired.
