Ingredients
- 6 to 10 potatoes (depending on size), washed (about 1,5 kg/3 lbs)
- 30 ml (2 tbsp) melted butter or non-hydrogenated margarine
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) canola oil
- 5 ml (1 tsp) paprika
- 2 ml (½ tsp) dried thyme (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
- Place oven rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 200oC (400oF).
- Thinly slice the potatoes without cutting right to the bottom so that each potato still holds together.
- Put the potatoes in an 8-inch square baking dish. You can also use a bigger dish or a baking sheet, if needed.
- Mix the melted butter or margarine and oil in a small bowl and pour onto the potatoes.
- Sprinkle on the salt, pepper, paprika and thyme, if using.
- Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and a fork pierces the potatoes easily. Baste the potatoes with the butter from the bottom of the pan occasionally while they are cooking.
