Garlic and Cheese Hasselback Potatoes

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Mix together cheese, ham, garlic, and parsley in a bowl; set aside.

Place 1 chopstick on each side of a potato. Thinly slice potato crosswise, stopping when the knife hits the sticks, creating uniform slices. Dip in melted butter and place in a baking dish. Repeat with remaining potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and bake for 40 minutes.

Remove potatoes from oven. Fill spaces in between slices with cheese-ham mixture. Drizzle with remaining melted butter and bake again, uncovered, until cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
