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

Place 1 potato between 2 wooden spoons; slice potato, crosswise, at ⅛-inch intervals until you hit the spoon handles, being careful not to cut all the way through potato. Repeat slicing with remaining 3 potatoes. Arrange sliced potatoes on a baking sheet.

Step 3

Combine olive oil, garlic, paprika, and salt in a small bowl; brush over top and in between potato slits.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Garnish potatoes with Parmesan and chives.
