Ingredients

• salt to taste
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, or more to taste
• 4 medium potatoes
• 1 pinch smoked paprika
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives, or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 2

Combine olive oil, garlic, paprika, and salt in a small bowl. Brush mixture over the top and in between the slits of potatoes.

Step 3

Garnish with additional Parmesan and chives.

Step 4

Place a potato between 2 wooden spoons. Slice potato crosswise at 1/8-inch intervals, cutting until you hit the spoon handles; be careful not to cut all the way through. Repeat with remaining potatoes and transfer to a baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes have fanned out a bit and are cooked through on the insides but a bit crispy on the outsides, about 45 minutes. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese over top and bake until melted, 2 to 3 minutes.
