Cheese Herb Potato Fans Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Using a fork, mash together the butter, Monterrey Jack, herbs, Parmesan, smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl until combined. Spoon onto a piece of nonstick aluminum foil and, using one side to press, form into a 6-inch log. Wrap the foil around the log, twist the ends closed and place in the freezer until firm, about 20 minutes.
• 2. Using a sharp knife, cut a series of slits into each potato, with about 1/8-inch between slits and cutting about three-quarters of the way through. Unwrap the butter log and thinly slice two-thirds of it into about 24 rounds. Slip the butter slices into every 3 to 4 slits of each potato, using about 6 slices per potato. Wrap each potato tightly in nonstick aluminum foil, sealing the foil on the top side of the potato.
• 3. Place directly on the oven rack and bake until very tender, about 1 hour. Carefully open the top of each potato package to let out the steam and expose the tops. Bake until browned and crisped, about 10 minutes more. Unwrap each potato and drizzle with any accumulated flavored butter from the foil.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small sauce pan melt together the butter, garlic, and parsley. Peel each potato and cut each potato crosswise into 1/4" slices without slicing all the way through the potato. Place potatoes in baking dish and drizzle with butter mixture. Bake for 1 hour or until golden, crispy and the potatoes have fanned out. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. With a sharp knife, cut each potato crosswise into 1/8-in. slices, leaving slices attached at the bottom; fan potatoes slightly and place in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. In a small bowl, mix butter, salt and pepper; drizzle over potatoes., Bake, uncovered, 50-55 minutes or until potatoes are tender. In a small bowl, toss cheeses with herbs; sprinkle over potatoes. Bake about 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Soak the sliced potato in cold water for anywhere up to an hour. Drain and dry well.
• Melt butter in medium saute pan over medium heat. Place potato slices in pan in a single layer as soon as contact with the butter creates a sizzle.
• Cover pan and let potatoes sizzle for about 20 minutes. Check potatoes at this time to make sure they are browning. If they are looking golden and crispy, turn the slices over, cover and sizzle for another 20 to 30 minutes.
• At this point, you should be hearing a sound that is somewhere between a sizzle and a balloon with a leak. This is the water cooking out of the potatoes. It is a good thing. Remove the cover. Turn heat down a bit if it looks like the taters are likely to burn.
• It will take about 15 minutes for the potatoes to get rid of their water content.
• Remove from heat and sprinkle cheese over crispy slices. Turn taters and cheese so they mix up together.
• Turn all out onto a plate, sprinkle with herbs and pepper.
• Serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F.
• Place potatoes on microwaveable plate; prick each in several places with fork. Microwave on HIGH 8 to 10 min. or until tender, turning and rearranging every 3 min. Cool 10 min.
• Make 7 to 9 diagonal cuts in top of each potato, cutting about 3/4 of the way into potato. Place, cut sides up, on baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Gently spread slices of 1 potato slightly apart; brush with 1 Tbsp. dressing. Repeat with remaining potatoes and dressing.
• Bake 15 to 18 min. or until potatoes are lightly browned. Top with cheese; bake 1 to 2 min. or until melted. Sprinkle with onions.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Butter 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Mix first 7 ingredients in large pot. Bring to simmer over medium-high heat. Add half of cheese; whisk until smooth. Chill remaining cheese. Add potatoes to pot; bring to simmer.
• Transfer potato mixture to prepared dish, spreading evenly. Cover with foil; bake 15 minutes. Uncover and bake until potatoes are very tender and liquid bubbles thickly, about 50 minutes.
• Dot potatoes with remaining cheese. Bake until cheese softens, about 5 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before serving.
