Step 1

Place potatoes in a medium pan with cold water and bring to boil. Continue to boil for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Remove potatoes and allow them to cool enough to handle.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Step 4

Slice potatoes almost all the way through, but leave them intact on one side.

Step 5

Place the potatoes on a well greased baking sheet or baking stone and gently press them down so they fan out.

Step 6

Drizzle a little bit of melted butter over the top of each potato (or use a pastry brush) and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and parsley.

Step 7

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender on the inside and crisp on the outside. Season with salt and pepper and desired.
