Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Thoroughly scrub the russet potatoes under cold running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry.

Carefully slice each potato in half lengthwise.

Drizzle olive oil over the cut sides of the potato halves. Rub the olive oil in well on both the cut sides and the skin sides of each potato.

Season the potato halves generously with your preferred all-purpose seasoning, rubbing it in well on all sides.

On the prepared baking sheet, for each potato half, place 2 small pats of butter onto the parchment paper. Create a small line of shredded Parmesan cheese directly over each butter pile.

Carefully lay each seasoned potato half, cut-side down, on top of a butter and Parmesan pile on the baking sheet.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown, crispy on the bottom (where the butter and Parmesan were), and fork-tender in the middle.

To serve, transfer a baked potato half to a plate. Using a knife, slice it down the middle (but not all the way through the skin), then gently squeeze the ends to open it up and fluff the soft interior.

Fill with your favorite baked potato toppings such as butter, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, minced chives, and crumbled crispy bacon.
