BAKED POTATO SLICES

SERVES 4

This is a very easy and light recipe for sliced potatoes. It is based on a recipe from an episode of the Two Fat Ladies. Yes, even they make some light and healthy dishes. The potatoes may be peeled or not.

INGREDIENTS

1 pound potatoes, preferably red-skinned, thinly sliced

Olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

4 cloves garlic, minced

Dried thyme and sage, or other herbs as desired

1/2 cup vegetable or chicken broth

Place the potato slices in cold water for at least 30 minutes. Drain and pat dry when ready to use.

Preheat oven to 375° F. Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with olive oil or spray. Place a layer of potatoes on the bottom, slightly overlapping the slices. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, herbs and garlic. Drizzle with olive oil and then moisten with a little broth. Continue to layer until all the potatoes are used. This will make about 5 layers. You should also use all of the broth. Bake at 375° until potatoes are tender, about 50 minutes. Increase the heat to 450° F. Bake an additional 10 minutes or until the top layer is browned and crispy. Serve immediately.

Note: This would also be good substituting butter for the olive oil.

Variation: Sprinkle each layer, except the top, with grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle the top before the last 10 minutes of baking.
