6 baking potatoes, sm., enough to put in spoon
3 tbsp. melted butter
1 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. bread crumbs
2 tbsp. Parmesan cheese, optional

Peel potatoes. Put in cold water to prevent discoloring. Put 1 potato in deep spoon; slice it down to edge of spoon making slices about 1/8 inch apart. Spoon will prevent cutting through potato. Put potatoes cut side up in large buttered baking dish. Baste with some butter. Sprinkle with salt. Cook 30 minutes in preheated 425 degree oven. Sprinkle crumbs over each potato. Baste with remaining butter, cook 15 minutes or until golden brown and tender. Add cheese 5 minutes before potatoes are done.
