Steps

1 Done	Preparation: Put baking paper on a baking pan. Heat the oven to 180 degrees C.
2 Done	Wash the potatoes. Do not peel them.
3 Done	Cut slits into the potatoes 3/4 to the way down. Cut less than 1 cm apart. Be careful not to cut through. To make it easier set a knife on each side of the potato.
4 Done	Rub the potatoes with olive oil. Using a brush put some olive oil into the cuts. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
5 Done	Baking: Transfer the potatoes to the baking pan. Bake for at least 45 min or until the potatoes become soft. Check with a toothpick. Add some olive oil to the potatoes every 15 min.
6 Done	Once the potatoes become soft cut the mozzarella cheese into slices. Put the mozzarella slices on top of the potatoes.
7 Done	Put the potatoes back in the oven and bake for a little more, until the mozzarella starts getting golden.
8 Done	Serving: These oven-baked potatoes can be eaten as a stand alone dish, or can be garnish for a meat-based dish.
9 Done	Tip: If you are worried it can be a little dry, make a yogurt dip: - 100 g cream cheese - 2 tbsp Greek yogurt - 2 tsp pesto genovese
