Ingredients

  • 4 large russet potatoes washed and dried
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 8 slices cheddar cheese cut into 1inch x 1 inch squares (~6 each)
  • 3 green onions thinly sliced

Seasoned Sour Cream

  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1.5 teaspoons Lawry's seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450℉ and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Place a chopstick on both sides of each potato. Slice the potato making ¼-inch slices stopping at the chopsticks, being careful not to go all the way through to the bottom. Transfer to a baking sheet.

  • Add the olive oil, melted butter, and kosher salt to a small bowl. Brush each potato heavily with the butter mixture. Bake for 45-60 minutes.

  • Cut the slices of cheese into 6’s, about 1inch x 1 inch. When the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and add a slice of cheese into each slice of the potatoes. Place the baking sheet back into the oven to melt the cheese -- about 2 minutes.

Tips & Notes

  • Air Fryer Instructions: spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the potatoes into the basket and air fry at 350℉ for 25-30 minutes. Add slices of cheese into the slices and air fry for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  • While this recipe calls for chopsticks we can confirm that metal reusable straws and knives with thick handles can also do the trick. Either way, it is important to not push down very hard so that the knife isn’t damaged and the chopsticks aren’t broken.
