A different way to fix the sometimes-boring potato. They come out crisp, and they're really good alongside a steak or chicken. You can also cut them smaller and make steak fries to have with a meal or alone! This has been written down on a recipe card for years, and for some reason I didn't write down where I found it, or maybe I made it up. You can use any kind of herb you happen to like, tarragon or parsley are also good, or no herbs at all.
Ingredients:
1 baking potato, scrubbed and dried, about 10 oz
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons melted butter
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried basil (optional) or 1/2 teaspoon thyme (optional)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375*F.
2. In small dish combine lemon juice and butter.
3. On plate combine parmesan, garlic salt, black pepper, and herbs, (if using).
4. Cut the potato in half lengthwise.
5. Brush cut surfaces of potato with lemon butter, then dip in parmesan mixture.
6. Bake, cut sides down, on greased baking sheet, 30-35 minutes until tender and brown.
