Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Pour melted butter or margarine in 8x11 baking dish.
- Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over melted butter.
- Cut potatoes in half lengthwise and place cut side down over butter/cheese mixture.
- Bake for 30-35 mins or till tender.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are ideal for baked potatoes because they have a high starch content that makes them fluffy and tender when baked.
- Scrub the potatoes thoroughly before baking to remove any dirt or debris.
- Prick the potatoes with a fork to allow steam to escape and prevent them from bursting.
- Brush the potatoes with oil to help them brown and crisp.
- Bake the potatoes at a high temperature (400 degrees Fahrenheit) for the first 30 minutes to create a crispy skin.
- Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit for the remaining cooking time to allow the potatoes to cook through.
- To check if the potatoes are done, insert a fork into the center of a potato. If the fork goes in and out easily, the potato is done.
- Let the potatoes cool for a few minutes before handling them to prevent them from breaking.
- Serve the potatoes immediately with your favorite toppings.
