‘GARLIC BREAD’ POTATOES

Ingredients:

200g Carisma Potatoes
7g butter, melted
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tbs chopped fresh parsley leaves
30g mozzarella slices
Smoked paprika, to sprinkle

Method:

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200C/180C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Cut across the base of each potato slightly so they sit flat on the chopping board. Make thin, evenly spaced cuts crossways at 4-5mm intervals, about two-thirds the way through each potato. (Make sure you do not cut all the way through.) Place on the prepared tray.

Step 2

Combine the butter, garlic, and parsley in a small bowl. Season well. Brush the potatoes with a little of the butter mixture. Roast for 1 hour or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 3

Set aside for 10 minutes to cool slightly.

Step 4

Meanwhile, cut the mozzarella into thin slices.

Step 5

Trim 1 end of 1 of the potatoes, about 3cm from the end. Repeat with another potato and join the 2 cut sides together. Trim the other end of 1 of these potatoes and repeat trimming to join all potatoes to make 1 long log. Open each cut a little and place a square of cheese inside. Brush the top with the remaining butter mixture. Sprinkle with paprika. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until melted and golden. Carefully transfer the potato log to a long, narrow serving platter to serve.
