- Add about 1/4 cup Olive oil, drizzling it evenly over butter in pan. Make one mound of cheese where each half will go. Put potatoes cut side down on top of cheese.
- Drizzle potatoes with more Olive oil and sprinkle liberally with salt. Roast at 400 about 1 hour, checking for doneness. Baste with pan juices halfway through cooking time
