Step 1: Heat the oven to 425°F.
Step 2: Cut slits in the potatoes, leaving the bottom intact.
Step 3: Mix olive oil with garlic salt, paprika and red pepper flakes.
Step 4: Arrange the potatoes in a baking dish, brush them all over with olive oil mix, including the bottoms.
Step 5: Bake the potatoes for 30 minutes. At this point, the layers will start separating.
Step 6: Remove the pan from the oven and brush the potatoes again with the rest of the olive oil. Make sure oil drips down into the space between the slices.
Step 7: Bake for another 30 to 40 minutes, until the potatoes are crispy on the edges.
Step 8: Stuff cheese into the slits and sprinkle over the top 5 to 10 minutes before the end of cooking.
Step 9: Serve immediately.
