    Generously brush potatoes with melted butter mixture, top with crumbled parmesan and carefully press panko crumbs onto potatoes. (Sprinkle with chopped parsley, optional).

  • Step 6

    Bake for 35 mins (10mins longer for extra crisp). Remove from oven, sprinkle with additional fresh parsley and serve with garlic-cumin sour cream dip.
