Hasselback Garlic Potatoes
Ingredients:
4 baking potatoes (Yukon Gold, Russets, or other starchy variety)
1 grated garlic clove
2 Tablespoons finely grated Romano cheese
2 Tablespoons butter
Panko bread crumbs
Salt and pepper to taste
1 grated garlic clove
2 Tablespoons finely grated Romano cheese
2 Tablespoons butter
Panko bread crumbs
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Melt the butter and mix in the garlic.
Slice the potatoes thinly (quarter inch slices), but do not cut all the way through. Leave at least a quarter inch at the bottom to hold the potatoes together.
Place the cut potatoes into a baking disk, cut side up. Drizzle with half the butter and garlic mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
Bake for 35-40 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove from oven and drizzle with remaining butter. Sprinkle Romano cheese and bread crumbs onto tops of potatoes. Season with a little more salt and pepper. Return to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes or until browned.

Notes:
To avoid cutting all the way through the potato, set it between two wooden spoons or a pair of chopsticks on your cutting board and use that as a guide to the proper depth of your cuts.
You can add dried herbs (rosemary, parsley, thyme, oregano, etc.) to the bread crumbs for extra flavor or to compliment your main course.
One clove of garlic? Who are we kidding? More like 4, amiright?
