About This Recipe
"This is a very easy way to give the bland potato a lot of new flavour. The light coating of butter and
cheese given the potatoes a crisp outside. This recipe can also be microwaved. See Microwave Sliced
Baked Potatoes."
Ingredients
4 medium baking potatoes ( evenly-sized)
1 teaspoon salt
2 -3 tablespoons melted butter

teaspoons dried herbs, of your choice

1 1/2 tablespoons parmesan cheese

potatoes are soft inside.
11. Check for doneness with a fork or skewer.
