Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. We start with preparing the potatoes, which will be the stars of this dish. Peel the potatoes with a sharp knife and then wash them well under cold running water, making sure to remove any impurities. After washing, dry them with a clean towel to avoid adding water to the dish.
Once the potatoes are clean and dry, take each potato and make lengthwise cuts, creating thin slices but being careful not to cut all the way through. The goal is to create slices that remain connected at the base, so the potato has the shape of a fan, allowing it to absorb the flavors of the spices and butter during baking.
Prepare a ceramic dish or a baking tray and grease it well with butter to prevent the potatoes from sticking. Carefully place each sliced potato in the dish, gently spreading it to achieve the desired shape. After arranging the potatoes, season them with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add chopped herbs such as dill or parsley for an extra touch of freshness.
On top of the seasoned potatoes, place a few cubes of butter on each potato, so that it melts and seeps into the sliced sections. Put the dish in the preheated oven and let them bake for about 35 minutes at medium heat. You will notice how the potatoes begin to soften and reveal delicious flavors.
After 35 minutes, carefully take the dish out of the oven and sprinkle grated cheese on top, which will melt and form a golden and appetizing crust. Return it to the oven for another 15 minutes until the cheese is nicely browned. Finally, take the dish out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This simple yet flavorful potato dish will surely impress everyone who tastes it.
