Sliced Baked Potatoes With Parsley Butter Food

BUTTERED PARSLEY POTATOES

Steps:

• If desired, remove skin from the middle of each potato. Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with 1 inch of water. Add 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Simmer 20 to 25 minutes or until soft.
• Drain potatoes well and return to pot.
• Add butter, garlic powder, and parsley. Toss to coat well.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.

SLICED BAKED POTATOES WITH PARSLEY BUTTER

Steps:

• Prick the potatoes a few times with a fork and bake them in the middle of a preheated 400°F. oven for 1 hour. In a small saucepan melt the butter and stir in the parsley and salt and pepper to taste. Cut the warm baked potatoes crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices, arrange the slices, overlapping them, on plates, and drizzle each serving with some of the parsley butter.

EASY PAN FRIED POTATOES, SHALLOTS WITH PARSLEY BUTTER

Steps:

• Potatoes -- Add the potatoes to a bowl or I prefer using a pie plate and add just a tablespoon or so of water and cover with plastic wrap. Now microwave. I like to start at 5 minutes and then check. You want them slightly tender but still firm and not falling apart - remember you are going to finish then in the pan. Once they are done, just remove from the microwave and drain well, you don't want water to hit a hot pan.
• Pan Fry -- Add the shallot and garlic to a medium saute pan with 1 tablespoon of the butter on medium heat and cook 2 minutes. Increase the heat to medium high to high and add the other tablespoon of butter, potatoes and parsley. I like to let them set for a couple of minutes to brown on the bottom before flipping and stirring breaking them up slightly and then again a couple of minutes on the other side before I stir or flip and again breaking them up a bit. They will start to break apart which is fine. Then add the scallions, salt and pepper and serve.

OVEN-BAKED POTATO SLICES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place potatoes, garlic powder, black pepper, celery seed, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt into a zip-top bag. Shake to coat evenly.
• Pour entire contents of bag onto a large baking sheet and spread evenly. Drizzle with olive oil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes reach desired crispness, turning frequently to brown evenly, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Remove from the oven. Let cool slightly and pour into a serving dish.

SLICED BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel potatoes only if the skin is tough, otherwise, just scrub and rinse them.
• Cut potatoes vertically, into thin slices, but not all the way through. Lay a spoon next to the potato to prevent knife from cutting all the way through. (A wooden spoon works great.).
• Put potatoes in a baking dish. Fan them slightly.
• Sprinkle with salt, and drizzle with the melted butter. Sprinkle with herbs.
• Bake potatoes at 425 degrees for about 50 minutes.
• Remove from oven. Sprinkle with cheeses.
• Bake potatoes for another 10-15 minutes until lightly browned, cheeses are melted, and potatoes are soft inside. Check for doneness with a fork.
• To microwave: Prepare potatoes as above, and place in a microwave safe dish or pan.
• Sprinkle with melted butter and herbs.
• Microwave on High power for 10 minutes, rearranging the potatoes after 5 minutes if your microwave does not have an automatic turn table.
• Let rest for 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle with grated cheese and Parmesan cheese.
• Microwave for another 4-6 minutes on High power until cheeses are melted, and potatoes are soft.
• Sprinkle with salt, and serve.
• Note: You may substitute 2-3 teaspoons dried herbs of your choice for the fresh, if you prefer.
• After the potatoes are done, a little sour cream on top, sprinkled with bacon bits might be good.
