Hassleback Baked Potatoes

I have seen and made these before but never quite like this

Servings: 4

Ingredients:
4 large potatoes
1 stick butter
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
Salt
Pepper
Shredded Cheese (I use cheddar but go crazy and use what you please)

Garnish:
Butter
Sour cream
Scallions
Bacon

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
2. Using a sharp knife, thinly slices into the potato, into rounds, being SURE not to cut through the potato.
3. Place the cut potatoes on a foil lined baking sheet.
4. Melt 1/2 of the stick of butter and drizzle over potatoes. Insert a few pieces of thinly sliced garlic in between cuts of the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Bake for 45-55 minutes, until the outside is tender and the inside of each potato is soft. When done, remove from oven.
6. Turn oven to a broil.
