Recipe 11: Roasted Potato Fans!

Recipe 11:
Roasted Potato Fans!

4 Medium sized red or white thin-skinned potatoes, scrubbed
2 Tbs olive oil
1.5 tsp salt
1.5 tsp sweet paprika, preferably smoked

1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Working with 1 potato at a time, cut a thin lengthwise sliver off one side so the potato lies flat on cutting board. Place 2 chopsticks parallel to each other on either side of the potato (lengthwise). Holding in place, make 1/8 inch cuts crosswise (the chopsticks prevent you from cutting all the way through.

2. Place potatoes on baking sheet. Pry slices open gently with your fingers, and brush a little oil between each slice.

3. Mix salt and paprika in a small cup. Sprinkle potatoes with mixture, pushing slices gently apart to season between slices.

4. Bake about 1 hour, or until potatoes are tender and crisp. Serve hot.*

* This item works by itself as a kind of fancy-looking home fries, but can also be served topped with Portobello-Seitan Hash. Don’t know how to make that? You're in luck, that is Recipe number 12!
