Sliced Baked Potatoes by Susan Mires
I enjoy cooking, but it can be difficult to find dishes designed for a Party of One instead of a Family of Six. This one is super easy and can be adjusted to any size. If you bake extras, the next day the potato can be heated in the microwave or sliced in a skillet and heated.
Sliced Baked Potato
-Choose a regular baking potato and wash thoroughly.
-Using a sharp knife, create slices through the potato. I try to go pretty thin, about a quarter-inch or less. Do not slice clear through, but leave the skin attached at the bottom. It may help to use a wooden spoon handle as a guide.
-Place the potato in an oven-safe dish and fan it out slightly. Melt about 2 tablespoons of butter in the microwave and poor very slowly over potato, making sure it goes in between slices. Or, if you prefer, use a knife to spread a dab of butter between each slice. Sprinkle with seasoning salt, or salt and pepper, or your favorite spices. I often use a Cajun blend I bought while on a mission trip to New Orleans.
-Bake about 45 minutes. It takes slightly less time than a traditional baked potato.

Lovin' this recipe, Susie! It's so pretty. I can't wait to try it.
This looks like an awesome twist on a favorite! I'll have to try it soon.
I have to try this and I wonder how it would be with a baked sweet potato. Wow.
Hi, Jan! Hi, Lavon! It's such a neat idea. I think it'd be really pretty for a company meal. I think it'd be great with a sweet potato too, Lavon. Try it and let us know! =)
I looooove potatoes. One of these days I'll try this one. Pretty sure I'll love it too.
Sally,
Let me know when you try it. I'm actually thinking of making it for a small Christmas Eve dinner.
