6 (about 200g each) Desiree potatoes
Olive oil cooking spray
1⁄2 cup fresh wholegrain breadcrumbs

STEP 1 Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Peel potatoes and halve lengthways. Place a halved potato cut-side down onto a board. Slice thin, evenly–spaced cuts, about two thirds of the way through potato. Repeat using remaining potatoes. Liberally spray potatoes with oil and place cut-side down onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake for 50-55 minutes until tender.

STEP 2 Combine breadcrumbs and cheese. Remove potatoes from oven. Sprinkle breadcrumb mixture over potatoes. Bake for a further 12-15 minutes until golden and crunchy. Serve immediately.
