Ingredients
baking potatoes
4 (medium, scrubbed and optionally peeled)
parmesan cheese
1.5 (tablespoons, grated)
grated cheddar cheese
4 (tablespoons)
melted butter
2-3 (tablespoons)
fresh herbs (parsley, chives, thyme, sage)
2-3 (tablespoons, chopped or 2 teaspoons of dried herbs)
salt
1 (teaspoon or to taste)
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
2
Prepare the potatoes by scrubbing them clean. If the skins are particularly tough, peel them with a vegetable peeler.
3
Carefully slice the potatoes into thin rounds without cutting all the way through; a good technique is to place a wooden spoon or table knife beside the potato as a guide to prevent slicing through completely.
4
Arrange the potatoes in a baking dish, slightly fanning out the slices for maximum exposure to the butter and herbs.
5
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the potatoes, ensuring some seeps between the slices.
6
Sprinkle the chopped fresh herbs (or dried herbs) and salt over the potatoes, adjusting to your taste preference.
7
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and beginning to brown.
8
Carefully remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle the parmesan and cheddar cheese generously over the top.
9
Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown.
