  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Method
 

Prepare the Potatoes
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Place the potatoes on a cutting board and make several evenly spaced slices across the top, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Season and Bake
  1. In a small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Brush the butter mixture over the potatoes, ensuring it seeps into the cuts.
  3. Wrap each potato in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Add Cheese and Finish Baking
  1. Remove the foil and sprinkle shredded cheese over the potatoes.
  2. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve
  1. Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped chives, and serve warm.
