• 4large potatoes
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• sea salt
• pepper &/or herbs to taste

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Scrub and dry potatoes, leaving skin intact.  Melt the butter and mix with the olive oil.  Place 2 knives on each side of the potato so when you slice down the potato you don’t cut all the way through – make thin slices.  Place in a pan and drizzle each potato with 1/2 teaspoon of butter – bake 30-40 minutes.  Drizzle with remaining butter.  Then bake another 30 minutes.  Sprinkle with pepper and herbs of choice.

Some additional ingredients:  place thins slices of ham or bacon, cheese sauce, spring onion or Sirachi sauce.

Serve with lettuce salad.

Serves 4.
