How to Make Scored Parmesan Potatoes

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Wash and scrub 2 lbs of russet potatoes. Cut each potato in half lengthwise using a sharp knife.
Score each potato half widthwise six times, cutting about ¾ of the way through. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
Gently fan the scored potatoes slightly to create more surface area.
Place potatoes in a shallow baking dish.
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and brush evenly over the potatoes.
Sprinkle generously with 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake uncovered at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until tender and golden brown.
Remove from oven and drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon of melted butter before serving.
