Toggle1. Preheat the Oven:

2. Prep the Potatoes:
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry.
- Place a potato between two chopsticks or wooden spoons to prevent cutting all the way through.

3. Season the Potatoes:
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and brush them with the seasoned olive oil, making sure to get in between the slices.
4. Bake the Potatoes:
- Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until they are tender and the edges are crispy. Brush with additional oil or butter halfway through cooking if desired.
5. Add the Cheese:
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese between the slices and on top of the potatoes.
- Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
