Ingredients:
- 4 medium baking potatoes (evenly-sized)
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
- 4 tablespoons grated cheddar cheese
- 2 – 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 – 3 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (choose from parsley, chives, thyme, sage) or 2 teaspoons dried herbs
- 1 teaspoon salt
Detailed Directions:
- Preheat your oven to a tantalizing 425 degrees F, creating the perfect environment for the magic that will unfold within.
- Begin the culinary orchestration by attending to the potatoes. If the skin proves too resilient, expertly peel them; otherwise, a thorough scrub and rinse will suffice. The goal is to prepare these tuberous delights for their transformation into perfectly sliced, baked wonders.
- With precision, slice the potatoes into thin, uniform slices, taking care not to cut all the way through. A pro tip: place the handle of a spoon or table knife alongside the potato to prevent the knife from slicing too deep.
- Arrange the sliced potatoes in a baking dish, fanning out the slices slightly to create a visually appealing canvas for the flavors to meld.
- Drizzle the potatoes with melted butter, infusing them with a rich, buttery essence. Sprinkle the chopped fresh herbs or dried herbs of your choice, letting the fragrance transport you to a herb-infused paradise. A pinch of salt adds the finishing touch, enhancing the natural flavors.
- The culinary alchemy unfolds in the oven, where the potatoes will bake for approximately 50 minutes. Witness the gradual transformation as they become lightly browned on the edges while maintaining a soft interior.
- At the crescendo of the baking symphony, remove the potatoes from the oven and generously sprinkle them with a duet of parmesan and cheddar cheese. Return them to the oven for a final act, baking for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheeses meld into a golden, molten perfection.
