Cheesy Garlic Butter Potatoes Food

CHEESY GARLIC BUTTER BABY POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 390ºF/200°C.
• Place the potatoes into a pan of boiling water and cook for 15 minutes or until they are almost cooked.
• Drain the potatoes well, then place the potatoes in a roasting tray (lined with cooking paper) and bake for 10 minutes.
• Melt the butter in a small pan and then crush in the garlic.
• Cook for 2 minutes on a low heat.
• Remove the butter from the heat and add in the salt and dried parsley.
• Remove the potatoes from the oven and use the back of a fork to squash the potatoes slightly. You don't want to crush them, just break the skins open so the butter can ooze in.
• Pour the butter mixture over the potatoes, then sprinkle over the cheese.
• Put them back into the oven for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and everything is bubbling.
• Serve with icy cold prosecco (and some napkins!)

CHEESY HASSELBACK POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and line a baking sheet with foil.
• In a small saucepot, bring the butter, oil and garlic to a boil over high heat; remove from the heat.
• Using 2 wooden spoons placed on each side of a potato as a guide, cut the potato into thin slices about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick, without cutting through the bottom (the spoons will keep you from cutting all the way through the potato). Repeat with the remaining potatoes. Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and brush each potato with some of the butter mixture, trying to get the butter between the slices. Sprinkle each potato with salt and pepper.
• Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the potatoes from the oven. The potatoes will have started to spread out from cooking and it will be easier to brush each slice with some more of the butter mixture. Put the potatoes back in the oven for an additional 20 minutes.
• Remove the potatoes from the oven again and sprinkle the Parmesan over the top and into the slices. Return to the oven to melt and brown the cheese, an additional 5 minutes. Serve the potatoes immediately.

GARLIC BUTTER POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375° and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Make small slits in each potato, like an accordion, making sure not to cut all the way through. Place potatoes on a large sheet pan.
• In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, olive oil and garlic. Brush mixture over potatoes then season with salt and pepper. Bake for 20 minutes, until the slits are starting to separate and the potatoes are beginning to turn golden.
• Brush the potatoes with more of the melted butter mixture then sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan on top. Bake for another 23 to 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
• Garnish with parsley and serve warm.

CHEESY GARLIC SCALLOPED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Grease a 1 1/2 quart or larger casserole dish with butter or nonstick spray.
• Layer half of the potato slices in the bottom of the casserole dish.
• Dot with half of the butter cut or pinched into small pieces.
• Arrange half of the garlic slices over the potatoes, then pour half of the heavy cream over.
• Sprinkle one cup of Cheddar cheese over the layer, and season with salt and pepper. Repeat layering of potatoes, butter, garlic, cream and Cheddar cheese, then top with the slices of provolone cheese.
• Season again with salt and pepper. Cover with foil that the underside has been sprayed with cooking spray.
• Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, then sprinkle the Parmesan or Romano cheese over the top.
• This will create a semi-hard cheese crust. Continue baking uncovered for another 30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender when tested with a fork.
