Oil preparation
For boiled potatoes, baked in the oven, you will need melted butter. Let's prepare while the potato slices get rid of the water and cool. In a thick-bottomed bowl (stewpan, pan), over a slow fire, melt the butter bar. Do not boil it, this is useless.
Sent to the oven
We will bake on a wide sheet with low sides. Generously lubricate the plane of the baking sheet with oil and spread the boiled potatoes on the surface. You can bake it in the oven as soon as you salt the slices again and season with pepper if necessary. Evenly distribute the remaining oil on the surface. It is better to use a special baking brush for such a procedure.
Boiled potatoes, baked in the oven, will be ready in 40-50 minutes. We will cook it at 200 degrees. During this time, it will be necessary to turn over the slices once for uniform heating and so that they do not burn. If you wish, you can sprinkle potatoes with aromatic herbs.

What to do with potatoes
It must be thoroughly washed and conscientiously cleaned, not missing small dark spots in the tubers. The eyes are not good for the body, so always remove them from the potato pulp. We wash the finished tubers again and send to the pan. Pour cold water and salt, as usual we do when cooking vegetables, we wait for the necessary time. In the process, it is important that the liquid does not boil with a key, this can destroy the integrity of the potato tubers. We need beautiful boiled vegetables.
Salt water from the finished potatoes and dry the root crops by placing dishes with potatoes on a plate that has not yet cooled for several seconds. The liquid will escape steam.
Cooking a cheese coat for potatoes
Grate all the cheese and send the chips into a deep container. Peel the garlic cloves and push them through the press directly into the cheese. We spread the whole mayonnaise here, after which we mix the components. We give a little time for mixing aromas. After 5-10 minutes, you can proceed to the next stage of cooking.
Spread and bake
We set the oven to heat up to 200 degrees.
Cut ready potatoes in half lengthwise. Very generously grease the bottom of the pan or baking tray with any oil (lean or creamy). Set the potatoes with the rounded side at the bottom. The slice should be at the top.
We spread cheese chips with mayonnaise on all halves. On average, one potato should get at least a tablespoon of the mass. Sprinkle, if necessary, pepper and dry herbs.
The oven has warmed up quite well, and now it is possible to send our "preparation" into its bowels. We will bake potatoes with a cheese cap until a beautiful blush appears on the surface.
