Makes 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds baby potatoes
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • ¼ cup (½ stick) butter, melted
  • 3 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Cut a thin slice from the side of each potato to provide a steady base.
  2. Place one chopstick (or wooden spoon) lengthwise on a cutting board. Place a potato lengthwise alongside the chopstick so the potato is nearest you, cut side down for stability. Slice potato crosswise into ⅛-inch-thick slices. The chopstick will prevent the knife from cutting all the way through the potato. Repeat with remaining potatoes.
  3. Gently rub potatoes with olive oil then arrange on a baking pan, sliced sides up. Sprinkle with salt. Cover tightly with foil and bake 1 hour.
  4. In a small bowl combine butter, parsley and Parmesan cheese. Uncover potatoes and brush with butter mixture. Increase oven temperature to 450°F. Bake 10 to 15 minutes more or until tender.
