Ingredients necessary for the recipe step are in italic. Ingredient measurements may vary due to measurement tools used.
Instructions
- Choose a good size potato with no blemishes. Scrub it well to remove any dirt.
- Lay the potato between two chopsticks and start cutting very thin slices into the potato, going almost through, but not quite. That is the reason for the chopsticks, so your knife doesn't go all the way through.
- Cut the cheese very thinly and small enough to fit into the spaces between the slices of potato. Put it in alternately in every other space.
- Melt the butter, and mix the butter, garlic, Parmesan, and paprika together. Pour the mixture into and over the potato.
- Put the finished potato on a microwave safe dish and microwave until finished, about 11-12 minutes. Your microwave probably has a potato button, using that is preferred.
- To serve: top with a dollop of sour cream and a dusting of paprika.
Notes
These ingredients are approximate. Use more or less according to your tastes and the size of your potatoes.
