Spiral Baked Potatoes

SERVES: 6

COOK TIME: 1 Hr

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

Preheat the oven to 400 degree F.
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.
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.

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.
