Parmesan Cheese Half Baked Potato
A Baked Potato that has been cut in half, dipped into butter, dipped into cheese then baked in the oven. What an easy way to make a potato dish for a meal and wait until you taste it!
Ingredients
Rinse, scrub and pat dry the potatoes
then slice them in half lengthwise.
Generously butter a large baking sheet.
Pour the melted butter onto a
plate with sides like a salad plate.
In the same size plate, combine
the cheese and paprika.
Dip the sliced potato, cut side down,
into the butter then immediately
dip into the cheese mixture.
Place the potato, cheese side down,
onto the buttered baking sheet.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for
40 minutes or until tender when you stick
a fork into it. Carefully remove from the pan
using a spatula, being careful not to scrape
off the cheese from the potatoes, then serve.

This looks so good. It surprised me that you bake it cheese side down, but it looks like it works. I can’t wait to try it!
It makes a crispy caramelized topping that has so much flavor. I do this with small red potatoes too. Thanks so much!
That looks like another winner! Almost like a fancy hash brown. I have this week off work too and so have blocked off time to cook and have some of your previous recipe posts saved. This will be saved too. Take care!
Thank you and enjoy the week off!
This sounds really good!
Thank you Ruth. 💕

This one really is yummy Catherine. The cheese caramelizes and it is so good. Thank you!
Looks good! Will try. 🙂
Enjoy it is a simple and delicious side dish. Thank you!
Yes’m, this one’s going on the list to try!
It’s a keeper! Great with small red potatoes to but easier this way.
looks so yummy- I may have to try a grain free variation with a sweet potato and dairy free cheese- yours looks better- but It just might inspire me to try to create something similar that I can enjoy!
Oh yes that is a great idea. I don’t see why that wouldn’t work. Let me know how it turns out please.
Awesome! Half-baked, like so many of my ideas…no, wait a minute…
Hahahaha Thanks Matt!

I think that cheese and potato is a wonderful combination. Thanks for sharing your recipe, Diane. It sounds very flavorful.
Your welcome Linda. If you get a chance to try this let me know how you liked it. 🌸
This looks so good!
Thank you Michelle the are!!!!
This sure looks tasty with that crunchy coating and would sure be a winner to me.
You can do this with the small red potatoes too Linda. Thanks ❤️
I’ve not had those small red potatoes or new potatoes in the house for years … my mom boiled them up and had them with salt and butter … she’d make a meal with them, along with big tomatoes. 🙂
I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad red potato!
Meijer is where I do grocery shopping – they started carrying fingerling potatoes and some other very small potatoes but can’t remember the name. My mom made red potato salad boiled with the skins on. Yum.
I love the fingerling too. The skins on the red potato are the best part…lol
Oh, I thought it was breading. Even betta butta!
Yes the Parmesan cheese makes it taste so good.
You are preparing every time innovative recipes.
Awww thank you for your nice comment!
It’s all right.
Looks scrumptious! I can see me making this!
I do this with small red potatoes too.Thanks Nancy!
My mouth watered when I saw the picture, lol!
It looks delicious, thanks for sharing!
You’re very welcome!
This looks delicious! Do you have to use fresh parm that you grate yourself, and which I can’t get here in this two-story town, or can you use the pre-grated kind that I sometimes find in a tub in the refrigerator case at Walmart? LOL
Thank you Jinger! I used the pre-grated Parmesan Cheese from the plastic jar.
Excellent news!!!
it is so good and explain very specifically thanks
Thank you for your nice comment! 💕
How do you come up with all of this stuff? Genius!
Hahaha I saw a picture of this on line then made it my way. Thanks!
Just the picture looks good! I almost took a bite out of my ipad!
Hahaha you crack me up!❤
Oh my goodness, yum!!!
They are so delicious! Thank you Carly!!!!
sounds absolutely delicious
Thank you!
I just made these using tiny little Baby Gold potatoes. Word to the wise, if you usually line your baking sheet with foil to save on clean up…don’t. My cheese stuck to the foil, not the potatoes. LOL But don’t worry, all is not lost. I scraped the cheese off the foil and we were still able to get some crackly cheese in each bite of potato. Delicious! Thanks for posting the recipe, Diane!
Maybe if you had sprayed the foil with cooking spray first it may have not stuck. I am glad you were able to salvage them! Baby red potatoes are great this way too. You’re welcome Jinjer!
Well, I had rubbed the foil down with butter. I wonder if parchment paper would work. I am not a fan of red potatoes. Don’t like the texture of them at all. I like russets and gold only. 🙂
Ooh! This is sooo tempting! Can I use a mix of Cheddar and Processed Cheese instead of parmesan?
Give it a try I’m not sure how the cheddar will do baking that long but let me know will you please.
That looks sensational! Will definitely try!
One of my favorites baked potatoes. Thanks!
