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.

SLICED BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel potatoes if the skin is tough, otherwise, just rinse and pat dry.
• Cut potatoes into thin slices, but not all the way through. (A clever trick for doing this is to place your potato between two table knives--the knives will stop your cutting blade at an even level across potato).
• Place potatoes in a microwave safe dish or pan.
• Sprinkle with melted butter and chopped herbs--getting it down between slices.
• Microwave for 10 minutes, rearranging potatoes after 5 minutes.
• Check doneness and cook a bit more if necessary until potatoes are nearly done.
• Sprinkle with grated cheese and Parmesan cheese.
• Microwave for another 4 to 6 minutes until cheeses are melted and potatoes are soft.
