Special Baked Potatoes Recipe
Here's a great way to change up plain, boring potatoes. I recommend it not just for the taste, but for presentation. It will ooh-n-aah your friends and family.
Here's a great tip for slicing these, "Place the handle of a wooden spoon along the bottom of the potato on both sides—this will prevent your knife from going all the way through."
Ingredients
- 4 Medium Baking Potatoes
- 1/4 Cup Onion, Minced
- 2 Tbsp. Italian Seasoning
- 1 Tsp. Salt
- 1/2 Tsp. Ground Black Pepper
- 4 Tbsp. Butter, Melted
- 2 - 4 Tbsp. Olive Oil
- Optional Toppings:
- 1/4 Tbsp. Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 2 Tbsp. Grated Parmesan Cheese
Directions
- With a sharp knife, slice potatoes thinly but not all the way through, leaving slices attached at bottom. Fan potatoes slightly. Place in an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.
- Carefully place minced onion between slices of potato. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to each potato, spread over top of potato.
- Drizzle with olive oil and lightly sprinkle more Italian seasoning over potatoes. Cover baking dish with lid or aluminum foil.
