Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F
  • Peel the potatoes and place them in a bowl of cold water.
  • Remove one potato from the water and dry it completely.
  • Place the dried potato in a large wooden or metal serving spoon.
  • Using a sharp knife, slice the potato crosswise at ⅛-inch intervals, cutting until the knife touches the spoon without cutting all the way through.
  • Repeat steps 3-5 with the remaining potatoes.
  • Arrange the potatoes cut side up in a shallow baking dish or small roasting pan.
  • Drizzle half of the melted butter over the potatoes.
  • Season the potatoes with salt and pepper.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and drizzle the remaining butter over the potatoes.
  • Sprinkle Romano cheese and bread crumbs on top of the potatoes.
  • Season with a little more salt and pepper.
  • Return the pan to the oven and bake until nicely browned, about 20 minutes.

Notes

Tips and Tricks

Use the Spoon Trick - Placing the potato in a large spoon prevents you from cutting all the way through. The spoon acts as a guide for your knife.
Slice Evenly - Try to make your slices the same thickness so the potatoes cook evenly. Aim for about ⅛-inch between each cut.
Soak in Cold Water - Keeping peeled potatoes in cold water prevents them from turning brown while you work on the others.
Don't Skip the Second Butter - Adding more butter halfway through keeps the potatoes moist and adds extra flavor to the crispy parts.
Check for Doneness - The potatoes should be tender when you poke them with a fork. If they're still firm after the first bake time, give them a few more minutes.
Let Them Rest - Allow the potatoes to sit for 2-3 minutes after removing them from the oven. This makes them easier to serve without falling apart.

Storing and Reheating

Refrigerate - Store leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in Oven - Place potatoes on a baking sheet and reheat at 350 degrees F for 10 to 15 minutes until warmed through and crispy.
Reheat in Air Fryer - Place potatoes in the air fryer basket and heat at 350 degrees F for 5 to 7 minutes until crispy and hot.
