Ingredients
- 4 pieces Medium-sized potatoes
- 200 grams Cheddar cheese
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 sheets Aluminum foil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Step 2
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 3
Carefully slice each potato into thin, even slices, making sure not to cut all the way through — the potato should remain intact at the bottom. This is called the 'hasselback' technique.
Step 4
Line up 4 sheets of aluminum foil on your countertop. Drizzle a little olive oil in the center of each sheet.
Step 5
Place a potato in the center of each foil sheet.
Step 6
Gently fan out the slices of each potato and insert small pieces of cheddar cheese between the slices.
Step 7
In a small bowl, mix the butter, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 8
Drop a tablespoon of the garlic-butter mixture on top of each potato, spreading it across the surface.
Step 9
Wrap each potato tightly in its aluminum foil sheet, sealing the edges so no steam escapes during baking.
Step 10
Place the foil-wrapped potatoes on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Step 11
Carefully open the foil parcels (watch out for steam!) and serve the cheesy baked potato parcels hot. Optionally, garnish with extra parsley before serving.
