Place each potato between two wooden spoons to prevent cutting all the way through.

Slice the potatoes crosswise at 1/8-inch intervals using a knife.

Transfer the sliced potatoes onto a baking sheet.

In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, and salt and pepper to taste.

Add 2 cloves of crushed garlic and 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese to the mixture and mix well.

Brush the sauce onto all sides of the potatoes, reserving some for later.

Preheat the oven to 450°F.

Place the potatoes into the oven to bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 20 minutes, checking for doneness after 1 hour.

Use the reserved sauce for a final brushing after baking.

Garnish the potatoes with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
