Ingredients

2 small baking potatoes, about 3/4-pound total
2 tablespoons melted butter
1/3 cup chicken stock
1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
11/2 tablespoons finely grated hard cheese, such as Parmesan
1 tablespoon fine dry bread crumbs

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Peel potatoes. Cut each potato not quite through in a series of crosswise slices about 1/4-inch apart or closer so that they are still joined together at the bottom. Brush the potatoes with the melted butter and place in a small baking pan. Pour the chicken stock around the potatoes and sprinkle with the thyme leaves. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and roast until the potatoes are half cooked, 25 to 30 minutes, basting every 5 minutes with the butter-chicken stock mixture.

In a small bowl combine the grated cheese and bread crumbs and divide the mixture evenly between the tops of the 2 potatoes. Continue roasting without any further basting until the potatoes are crispy on the outside and cooked through, about 30 minutes.

*Note: Exact cooking time will depend on the size of the potatoes.

Baste them often, to keep moist and add bacon with the topping, YUM!

Pretty looking, but okay tasting
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

My fiance made this recipe for Valentine's Day and incorporated everyone's suggestions (used wooden spoons to slice potatoes,... increased cooking time). It turned out okay, but not great. The potato cooked through correctly on the inside, but tasted a little dried out on the outside. I think it would go nicely with an entree that has gravy to moisten the potatoes a little. We would make it again, but it's not our first go-to potato side dish.Read more

Easy and delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I didn't have any trouble cutting the potatoes without going all the way through... just use a good knife and pay attention! ... The potatoes were very tasty, and I really liked the texture. They cooked to absolute perfection in the time prescribed. Everyone at the table loved them! We'll definitely do them again...Read more

Awesome!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These potatoes are great!! I have made these potatoes many times! Depending on the size of the potatoes they may need cooked... a little bit longer but it's totally worth it! I place the potatoes between 2 wooden spoons to prevent from cutting to far down. And this is such an easy recipe it can be made for a side dish to any meal! I would recomend these potatoes to anyone!!Read more

Yep...definately worth the effort!

I have made these potatoes many times and they are always a great hit! DO plan on the baking time to be about twice as long... as the recipe calls for (if you plan the extra time when deciding to make these yummy potatoes, it will lessen your frustration with the timing issue). I find it best to buy small-to-meduim potatoes. Then you get started - Cut, season, placing in baking dish and add the liquid ..... I cover the entire baking dish and potatoes with foil and bake for 45-50 minutes and baste 3-4 times (every 12-15 minutes). Then take off the foil and bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until the cheese and crumbs added become browned and crisp. Not kidding - done right...these are a crowd pleaser! Read more
