Here's a new way to show off your kitchen know-how. You'll have everybody wondering just how you made these cheesy Spiral Baked Potatoes. Isn't it fun to show off a little?

What You'll Need

  • 6 large baking potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 slices Cheddar cheese, cut in half
  • 2 tablespoons chopped scallions or chives

What to Do

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degree F.

  2. Put 2 wooden spoons parallel to one another and place a potato lengthwise between the handles. Make 8 crosswise cuts three-fourths of the way through the potato, stopping each time the knife hits the spoon handles. Repeat with the remaining potatoes; set aside.

  3. In a small bowl, combine the oil, salt, and pepper; rub the mixture evenly over the potatoes. Place the potatoes on a cookie sheet and bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until tender. Remove from the oven and place a cut piece of Cheddar cheese on top of each potato; bake for 2 to 3 more minutes, until the cheese is melted. Sprinkle with the chopped scallions and serve.

Notes

If you'd like, add some sour cream and/or bacon bits to make these even more special.

Thanks for your comment. Don't forget to share!

I'd definitely be up for adding bacon bits to this!

you could also sprinkle with a dash of garlic powder (not garlic salt) sour cream, scallions & crumbled bacon pieces (not raw). Use Virgin Olive Oil instead of vegetable oil to make it healthier.
