Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium russet potatoes
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • 2 cloves crushed garlic
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 ounces cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Clean the russet potatoes and dry them well. Use chopsticks on either side of each potato while slicing to prevent cutting all the way through.
  3. In a bowl, mix melted butter, oil, crushed garlic, salt, and pepper. Brush half of this mixture over the potatoes, ensuring it seeps between the slices.
  4. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil, brush with remaining mixture, and bake uncovered for an additional 20-25 minutes.
  5. Once tender, insert squares of cheese between the potato slices and return to the oven for 5-10 minutes until melted.
  6. Serve hot with optional toppings like crumbled plant-based bacon or dairy-free sour cream.
