Parmesan Potato Slices

First of all, I would like to apologize for not posting yesterday. My allergies are acting up and I felt like a Mack truck had hit me, I was discombobulated all day.

My son has been getting into cooking and does quite well. I think maybe he should go to chef school. Anyway, last night he made chicken cordon bleu, peas and these potatoes. Everything was very nice (if heavily calorie-ridden). I could have eaten the whole pan of potatoes!

In fact, they were so good that I snitched the recipe from him and I am sharing it with you today. I promise that my next post will NOT be potato-oriented!

Parmesan Potato Slices
Serves 6 or 4, depending on how much you like potatoes

5 large potatoes
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 cup mozarella cheese, grated
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 cup butter (1 stick or 1/4 lb) melted

Peel potatoes and slice 1/4 inch thick. In a medium bowl combine cheeses, flour, salt, pepper and paprika. Place mixture in plastic bag. Add potatoes to bag and shake to coat. Place potatoes in 9 x 13 baking pan. Pour melted butter evenly over potatoes. (Go ahead and add the extra seasoning mix on top of the potatoes). Bake covered in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. Uncover and gently stir. Bake uncovered another 30 minutes.

Voila - crispy seasoned potatoes.

The only thing I would do differently is add at least one clove of garlic, minced.

Until tomorrow!
