Potatoes

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 medium russet potatoes (about 2 lbs) -- scrubbed

6 cloves garlic -- finely chopped

1 teaspoon dried oregano

2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1/4 teaspoon salt

freshly ground black pepper

 

Combine the garlic, oregano, parsley, oil, salt and pepper in a small

bowl. Slice the potatoes almost all the way through, as you would

prepare a loaf of garlic bread, making the cuts about 1/4 " apart.

 

Spread a small amount of the garlic mixture inside each cut. Wrap the

potatoes in heavy-duty microwave-safe plastic wrap and microwave them

on HIGH , rearranging them every four minutes, until they are tender -

12 to 16 minutes.

 

Let the potatoes stand for 5 minutes before unwrapping them. Arrange

them in a serving dish and press down lightly on each one to fan out

the slices.

wrap them in aluminum foil and bake them for about an hour at 400

degrees F.
