Roasted Fan-Shaped Potatoes

“These wonderful oven-roasted potatoes are very pretty to serve--the partially cut slices spread out in the shape of a fan. Folks at a potluck can easily take as many slices as they want. I especially like these potatoes with ham, roast pork or beef. --Eunice Stoen Decorah, Iowa”

This is a fun way to serve a baked potato! There's alot of prep involved because of all the slicing! But I like it because it's unique! I didn't use the breadcrumbs and I used alot more salt! I removed 1 slice of potato from each potato to give the potato more room to fan out! And I only needed to bake it fot 1 hour. Placing a wooden spoon on each side of the potato during slicing is a great idea, as mentioned by other members! It really helps to make the slices without cutting through the bottom on the potato! I served mine with fresh chopped chives and some sour cream on the side!

My husband enjoyed the potatoes, but I found them a little dry. I'll try these again tomorrow night but I'll mix the Parmesan with the melted butter so that more of the Parmesan gets between the slices - there didn't seem to be a whole lot of flavor throughout the potato. I didn't think the crumbs added a thing - won't bother with them again. Used 2 wooden spoons to slice the potatoes. Thanks to my fellow reviewers for the suggestion.

These really were a delicious addition to our meal last night. Opted to not add the bread crumbs because it just seemed weird. Without them, this was a perfect combination of flavors that ran along the lines of oven-roasted potatoes & Potatoes Anna--use the dowls as mentioned by other reviewers--made the job of cutting them a breeze.

Great side dish! You can add herbs to the potatoes for more flavor. I added garlic, rosemary, and thyme. I also used italian style bread crumbs which go great with the parmesan cheese.

I've been making these for several years. They are a nice change. I add garlic to the butter, and I make sure to seperate all the potatoe sections when putting in the bread crumbs. My kids like these extra crispy so a little broiling to the top adds that crunch.

Easy and quick side dish. I skipped the breadcrumbs, flipped them twice (every 15 minutes) and buttered again on the second flip, used Spike and ground pepper to flavor. They look good, too. Use two wooden spoons to slice. Very good, thanks for the recipe!

As was mentioned...get dowels or use a wooden spoon on each side of the potato and it will prevent cutting thru. I have been making these for years and do them often
