A very yummy twist on a baked potato. I had to leave it in the oven for quite a bit longer though... maybe I just used larger potatoes. Still really delicious!

These were fine, nothing more than a regular baked potato with some seasoning. I won't bother with this again.

i didnt think these were difficult to cut at all. i used some cheap chopsticks because i didnt want to wreck my wooden spoons w/ cut marks. i added the salt to the butter in a bowl and nuked it for 30 secs then i used a pastry brush to apply it to the potatoes. i covered them in foil and baked for 1 hour and they were perfect. i topped them w/ chili, shredded cheddar, sour cream, and sliced green onions.i will definately make these again. thanks for a cute way to make potatoes.

Pretty unimpressive taste for all the work you put into them.

Delicious...however, the potatoes were still a little crunchy even after cooking for 65 minutes. I sprinkled a generous amount of seasoning salt and garlic powder over the potatoes, then drizzled with butter. Cooked them for 60 minutes then sprinkled cooked chopped bacon, chopped green onions and chedder cheese over them. Cooked for an additional 5 minutes and served with sour cream on top. They were very good, although still a little crunchy. I would recommend cooking until you are sure they are completely soft then adding your toppings then cooking an additional 5 minutes.

I tried this last night. I love the idea and will try stuffing onion or garlic in between slices next time. I used two really large potatos and they weren't cooked thru enough- my fault, not the recipe.:) Thanks!!!!

I was just looking for a faster way to bake a potato, and this worked great! I had no problems cutting the potatoes or fanning them out, though I had rather large potatoes. I used olive oil instead of butter, which worked fine though it did smoke up a bit at first, only used salt, and skipped the cheese step entirely.

This is a great recipe...To the viewrs who had diffiuculty cutting or fanning, You probably didn't have a big enough potato...Try the baking potatos that you buy seperate or else use the bigger ones in the back than the small..The fanning also happenes more when being cooked so where she said "slight" fanning, that's the reason. I sometime put sliced garlic,in between, spice to mood and brush with EVOO and then sprikle grated cheese or shredded cheese at the end... Delish...Thanks for the recipe...

I thought they were quite good! I put two wooden spoons along the sides of the potatoes, so it was very easy to slice evenly and without going all the way thru.

This was fast and delicious! I was worried that I would cut the potatos all the way through so I taped down 2 wooden skewers (chop sticks would work) to my cutting board and cut the potato in between them. This way I did not have to worry about cutting the potatos all of the way through!

I loved this recipe! Another great way to serve a potato and topping ideas could be endless! I had no trouble slicing the potato or fanning it out. It was very good tasting and had great eye appeal. I will be making this for my next formal family dinner. I didn't even cook mine in the oven but in the microwave and it took a lot less time!

this is a great recipe. Try stuffing the slots with onion and raw garlic. It comes out beautifully. I found, also, that wrapping the potatos in aluminum foil for the first half of the cooking time helps to keep the inside moist.

These were wonderful. The skin comes out nice and crispy and the middle is soft and cheesy. I switched the butter to olive oil though and they turned out great! Thakns Sheryl!

I have to agree with the people that say this is a waste of time and ingredients...out of 6 potatoes 1 actually did fan...the others either didn't or would bust off trying to separate them even a little.And the taste was nothing remotely special.Sorry-the 1 was "pretty" though.
