Welcome to Simple Saturday!
Today I have a fun simple side for you …

Scrub baking potatoes
Stick metal skewers through the bottoms lengthwise
(so you won’t accidentally cut all the way through the potato)
Cut thin slices all the way along the potatoes
Rub with olive oil
Slather tops with butter, minced garlic, and parsley
(I don’t think the original version had garlic – I’m Italian, everything has garlic!)
Bake just as you would a baked potato
Wouldn’t these look pretty next to a nice steak and some greens?
Eat and enjoy!
Visit me over at Seaside Simplicity for more simple recipes.
Have a great weekend!
These look delicious, thank you for sharing!
These are heavenly. I used to put a wooden spoon next to the potato so as to not cut completely through them. I grated a bit of parmesan over the tops. Yum!
Oooh, I love a new potato recipe!! Can’t wait to try it this week!
Chris and Dave – definitely use the skewers, I’ve tried without them and always end up cutting through the potato – ack!
Min – Thanks for adding the on the grill version!
Thanks for all the comments today everyone. I hope you’ll let us know if you try them and how you like them. Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
I have been wanting to make these for ages, because of the look and for some reason, it is one of the recipes, I left to the side. Seeing yours, I am motivated to get moving.
They look great.
I have made these before, and they are so easy and so spectacular for a presentation… great post and a really great tip on the skewers
I’ve been wanting to try these. I hadn’t seen the skewer tip before, that’s a good idea.
I had to stop by when I saw the pina colada dip. And it just might be time for good old tuna casserole too!
I love these! We usually make them on the grill–I’ll link up my recipe. =)
those look wonderful!!
Oh, I love those potatoes, they are my fav. I just came across your Blog and now I’m going to follow it.
Thanks for sharing.
