What a great idea! It's so hot here I decided to cut the potatoes in half horizontally to reduce the baking time. I brushed even the cut sides with butter & rolled in the crumbs. I loved the results. Crunchy, and with a dab of fat free sour cream we didn't even want extra butter. Thank you for sharing the recipe!

These potatoes were yummy! I pulverized the corn flakes in my food processor and I have to say how amazing the potatoes were! Even though I removed the skins prior to baking, the corn flakes them selves acted just like a crunchy skin. Thanks for posting Andi!

These were excellent!!! I added garlic powder and a bit of celery salt and I left the skins on the potatoes. (I LOVE potato skins....and I HATE peeling potatoes!) :D Anyway, I am mother of 9 children and these potatoes were a hit with everyone!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
