CRISPY BAKED POTATO FANS

Steps:

• 1. For the bread crumb topping: Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 200 degrees. Pulse bread in food processor until coarsely ground. Bake bread crumbs on rimmed baking sheet until dry, about 20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes, then combine crumbs, butter, cheeses, paprika, garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in large bowl. (Bread crumb topping can be refrigerated in zipper-lock bag for 2 days.) 2. For the potato fans: Heat oven to 450 degrees. Following photos 1 to 3 at left, cut 1/4 inch from bottom and ends of potatoes, then slice potatoes crosswise at 1/4-inch intervals, leaving 1/4 inch of potato intact. Gently rinse potatoes under running water, let drain, and transfer, sliced-side down, to plate. Microwave until slightly soft to the touch, 6 to 12 minutes, flipping potatoes halfway through cooking. 3. Arrange potatoes, sliced-side up, on foil-lined baking sheet. Brush potatoes all over with oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake until skin is crisp and potatoes are beginning to brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove potatoes from oven and heat broiler. 4. Carefully top potatoes with stuffing mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Broil until bread crumbs are deep golden brown, about 3 minutes. Serve. Prepping Baked Potato Fans These potatoes may look difficult to make, but we found a few simple, no-fuss tricks to ensure perfect potato fans every time. 1. Trim 1/4-inch slices from the bottom and ends of each potato to allow them to sit flat and to give the slices extra room to fan out during baking. 2. Chopsticks provide a foolproof guide for slicing the potato petals without cutting all the way through the potato. 3. Gently flex fans open while rinsing under cold running water; this rids the potatoes of excess starch that can impede fanning.

EASY BAKED POTATO FANS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees.*
• Cut each potato into "fans" by cutting almost through the potato. TIP: place the potato on a large wooden spoon, and with the potato sitting on the spoon, take a long knife and cut down until it touches the edges of the spoon. This allows you to evenly cut the potato into still-attached slices that you can fan out.
• Place the potatoes on a lined or greased baking sheet and lightly pull the pieces apart to fan them. They won't all look perfectly fanned, but that's OK.
• Pour a little of the melted butter over each potato, distributing it evenly.
• Sprinkle each with some salt and pepper to taste.
• Add about a tablespoon of grated cheese on top of each potato, pushing some of the cheese into the crevices.
• Bake 45-60 minutes or until tender. Total time will depend on the size of your potatoes. A knife inserted into the center of a potato will show how done they are.
