Scored Potatoes Recipe

By CarolineNGa

These well-seasoned baked potatoes are a fun alternative to plain baked potatoes. It's easy to help yourself to just the amount you want, too, since the potato halves are scored into sections. — Barbara Wheeler, Sparks Glencoe, Maryland

Ingredients

• 4 large baking potatoes
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted, divided
• 1/8 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

1. With a sharp knife, cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Slice each half widthwise six times, but not all the way through; fan potatoes slightly.
2. Place in a shallow baking dish. Brush potatoes with 1 tablespoon butter. Sprinkle with paprika, parsley, salt and pepper. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 50 minutes or until tender. Drizzle with remaining butter. Yield: 4 servings.
