1

Heat oven to 350°F. Generously grease 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish. Cut deep slits in rounded side of potatoes at 1/4-inch intervals. Place potatoes, slit side up, in greased baking dish.
2

Melt margarine in small saucepan. Stir in garlic powder. Spoon margarine mixture evenly over potatoes. Bake at 350°F. for 40 minutes.
3

Brush potatoes with margarine mixture from bottom of baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with cheese and bread crumbs. Bake an additional 10 to 20 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender.

As they bake, the potatoes become an appealing golden brown. Slice leftovers and heat them in a buttered skillet for home fries to accompany scrambled eggs.
