Herbed Baked Potatoes:
Recipe for Cheesy Potatoes

Cheesy Herb Baked Potatoes

4 medium sized potatoes
1 teaspoon salt
2-3 tablespoons melted butter
2-3 tablespoons fresh herbs chopped (parsley, chives, thyme or sage)
OR
2-3 teaspoons dried herbs of your choice
4 tablespoons cheddar cheese, grated
1 1/2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 425ºF.

Peel potatoes if the skin is tough, otherwise just scrub and rinse them. Cut them into thin slices but do not cut all the way through. (You can use the handle of a spoon to prevent the knife from cutting all the way through).

Put potatoes in a baking dish. Fan them out slightly. Sprinkle with salt and drizzle with butter. Sprinkle with herbs. Bake potatoes for about 50 minutes.

Remove potatoes from the oven. Sprinkle with the cheeses. Bake potatoes for another 10-15 minutes until they are lightly browned, cheeses are melted and potatoes are soft inside. Check with a fork.

Absolutely yummy!

• This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled for a larger group.

• You can prepare part of this recipe ahead if you wish. Just bake the potatoes for the 50 minutes, then set aside until you are ready to finish them. Top them with the cheeses and pop back into the oven to reheat and melt the cheeses.
