4 medium potatoes
2 to 3 tsp. dried herbs of your choice
1 tsp. salt
4 tbsp. grated Cheddar cheese
2 to 3 tbsp. melted butter
1 1/2 tbsp. Parmesan cheese
2 to 3 tbsp. chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, chives and
thyme
Peel potatoes if the skin is tough, otherwise
just scrub and rinse them. Cut potatoes into thin slices, but
not all the way through. Use a handle or a spoon to prevent
knife from cutting all the way. Put potatoes in a baking dish.
Fan them out slightly. Sprinkle with salt and drizzle with butter.
Sprinkle with herbs. Bake potatoes at 425 degrees for about
50 minutes. Remove from oven. Sprinkle with cheeses. Bake potatoes
for another 10 to 15 minutes until lightly browned, cheeses
are melted and potatoes are soft inside. Check with a fork.
Use Caraway seeds or Cumin in place of dried herbs, if desired.
Use 1 1/2 tsp. for 4 large potatoes.
