Ingredients:
4 medium potatoes
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
salt and pepper
1 cup white cheddar, grated
Steps:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Using a knife cut off the very bottom of each potato. This will help stabilize them in the pan.
Now carefully cut thin slices into each potato, about 2/3 of the way down. Be careful to not cut all the way through. If you do, just push the potato back together when baking.
Melt the butter in a small bowl. Add garlic, then salt and pepper to taste.

Spray the baking dish with non-stick spray. Place the potatoes into the pan and put in the oven.
Using a basting brush, brush each potato with the butter mixture.
Bake for 30 minutes, then baste them with the butter mixture again. Repeat ever 30 minutes until the inside of the potatoes are tender and fluffy. About 1 1/2 - 2 hours.
Once the potatoes are done, sprinkle cheese onto them and bake for 2-3 minutes to melt cheese.
