Garlicky Potato Fans

Ingredients

• 4 about 2 lbs medium russet or other baking potatoes, scrubbed
• 6 clove garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 2 Tbsp finely-chopped parsley
• 2 Tbsp virgin olive oil
• ¼ tsp salt
• freshly-ground black pepper

Method

1. 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-inch apart.
2. Spread a small amount of the garlic mixture inside each cut. Wrap the potatoes in heavy-duty plastic wrap and microwave them on high, rearranging them every four minutes, until they are tender - 12 to 16 minutes.
3. Let the potatoes stand for five minutes before unwrapping them. Arrange them in a serving dish and press down lightly on each one to fan out the slices.

Notes

Clipping. Marked "Excellent." Serves 4. Conventional oven method: wrap in aluminum foil and bake about one hour at 400 degrees.
