Crumb-Coated Potato Halves

Description: When baking potatoes, I used to cut them in half, brush with butter, then salt & pepper before baking them, cut side up. Here's a dressed up version of that!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 4 large potatoes, halved lengthwise
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or 2 tablespoons margarine, melted

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In shallow pan, combine bread crumbs, paprika, salt & pepper.
3. Brush sliced side of potato halves with butter, before dipping each into crumb mixture to coat.
4. Place in 13"x9" baking dish & cover.
5. Bake for 60 minutes, or until tender.
