Step 1

Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray. And, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Step 2

Scrub the potatoes, then slice the red potatoes in half. Score the potatoes by cutting slits into the flesh: 3 slices one way; and 2 slices the other way; making a tic tac toe pattern. But, don't slice them all the way through.

Step 3

In a measuring cup add 1 stick of melted butter, 1 packet of French onion soup mix, fresh parsley, cracked black pepper, and grated Pecorino Romano cheese. Stir it all together.

Step 4

Pour the butter mixture onto a baking sheet and tilt the baking sheet so the mixture covers most of the surface area.

Step 5

Place the scored potatoes flesh side down on the baking sheet.

Step 6

Add olive oil to the measuring cup and stir around the leftover butter mixture with the olive oil. Drizzle that over the top of the potatoes.

Step 7

Bake the potatoes in the oven at 400 degrees F. for about 30-40 minutes or until tender.

Step 8

Serve and enjoy!
