This potato recipe is a cross between a baked potato, roasted potatoes, and a oven baked french fry potato with cheese on top. Not really sure where this recipe came from either. I think I got it out of some recipe cards that were sent with a magazine we use to get a long time ago. The end results are yummy and you can customize the recipe to meet your family's taste.
Cheesy Golden Potatoes
- 4 medium even potatoes
- 1 tsp. salt (I use garlic salt.)
- 2 to 3 Tbsp. of butter, melted
- 2 to 3 Tbsp. chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chives, thyme, or age.)
- 2 to 3 Tbsp. of dried herbs of your choice
- 4 Tbsp. of Cheddar cheese
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. Parmesan cheese
 |
| Choose 4 even size medium potatoes. |
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Peel potatoes if the skin is tough, otherwise just scrub and rinse them.
Cut potato into thin slices but not all the way through. Use a handle of a spoon to prevent knife from cutting all the way through.

Put potatoes in a baking dish. Fan them slightly.
 |
| Once in baking dish, fan them out slightly. |
Sprinkle salt and drizzle with butter. Sprinkle with herbs. (I put the salt, black pepper, and dried herbs in the butter then whisk them together. For the herbs, I use chives and dried parsley.)
 |
| Melted butter with salt, pepper, add herbs in it. |

| Potatoes with the butter and herbs poured over them. |
Bake the potatoes in a 425 degree oven for about 50 minutes.
Remove from oven. Sprinkle with cheese.
 |
| Mmmmm, cheese! |
Bake potatoes for another 10 to 15 minutes until lightly browned, cheese are melted and potatoes are soft inside. Check with at fork.
 |
| Melty goodness! |
We usually have these potatoes with grilled steaks or grilled hamburger patties. They would make a great lunch paired with a big garden salad. If you give them a try let me know what you think!
Enjoying making simply yummy things for my family to eat!
