• Bake potatoes at 425 degrees for about 50 minutes.
• Remove from oven. Sprinkle with cheeses.

• To microwave: Prepare potatoes as above, and place in a microwave safe dish or pan.
• Sprinkle with melted butter and herbs.
• Microwave on High power for 10 minutes, rearranging the potatoes after 5 minutes if your microwave does not have an automatic turn table.
• Let rest for 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle with grated cheese and Parmesan cheese.
• Microwave for another 4-6 minutes on High power until cheeses are melted, and potatoes are soft.
• Sprinkle with salt, and serve.
• Note: You may substitute 2-3 teaspoons dried herbs of your choice for the fresh, if you prefer.
• After the potatoes are done, a little sour cream on top, sprinkled with bacon bits might be good.

Remove from the oven, sprinkle Romano cheese and bread crumbs and season with a little more salt and pepper to taste. Return to the oven, and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until nicely browned.] Bake for 50 minutes. (Time may vary depending on size of potato and oven.) When they're done you can add some shredded cheese, green onion or any other topping you might like!
