Garlic Parmesan Potatoes

Cut potatoes in half lengthwise, then with cut side facing down, make cross-cuts 3/4 of the way through the potato every 1/4 inch. Mix garlic and butter and rub on the bottom of a glass baking dish. Place potatoes flat side down in this dish, then mix chicken stock and basil and pour into the pan. Cover with tin foil and bake at 350 degrees F for about 40 minutes or until potatoes are soft. Drain chicken stock mix. Pour in cream and sprinkle generously with parmesan; bake another ten minutes.
