Hasselback Potatoes

Description: Delicious and beautiful- they turn golden and fan out during baking. Wonderful side for a holiday dinner with beef, pork or lamb.

Ingredients:

• 6 medium baking potatoes, peeled
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1/2 cup whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons shredded swiss cheese (or Parmesan)

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. Put a chopstick or pencil along each long side of the potato so you don't cut through to the counter. Using a sharp knife, cut potatoes almost through cross-wise in 1/8” thick slices. Place in ice water to prevent darkening.
3. Drain well and put in shallow baking pan. Brush with butter (or drizzle).
4. Bake until tender- about 1-1/2 hours, basting occasionally with cream and pan drippings. Sprinkle with cheese in last few minutes.
