Hungarian oven-baked potatoes

This is a quick, buttery oven-baked version of gourmet mini potatoes. The insides are smooth and creamy, while the outsides are crispy and flavorful. What makes them Hungarian? The paprika, of course :-)

Ingredients
1 lb gourmet yellow potatoes
2 tbsp butter
salt
paprika
oil

Preparation
Wash the potatoes and cut them in half length-wise. Place them flat-side-down onto a metal baking sheet lightly sprayed with oil.

Cut the upper part in deep, but not all the way through, in several places. Melt the butter and brush onto potatoes.

Preheat oven to 400F. Sprinkle potatoes with salt and paprika. Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes.

Serve warm. It makes a delicious snack or a perfect side-dish.
