directions
- Preheat oven to 425.
- In a medium saucepan combine vermouth, water, parsley, tarragon, lemon zest and salt. Set aside.
- Cut potatoes in half horizontally. Slice a small portion of the rounds off, so potatoes stand alone. Add the halved potatoes to the saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat; adjust heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook until fork tender, about 8 minute Set aside to cool in the liquid for 5 minute.
- Drain potatoes, reserving 2 tsp of the cooking liquid. Discared the herbs and lemon zest. With a small spoon or melon baller, scoop out a little of each potato to make a little "bowl" for the cheese.
- Toss the potatoes in the oil in a small bowl and stand them up on a baking sheet. Bake until lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the filling: In a medium bow, cream the cheese with the creme fraiche and the 2 tsp reserved cooking liquid. Fold in the minced herbs, season with pepper to taste.
- Remove the potatoes form the oven and let cool slightly. While the potatoes are still warm, spoon a dollop of the cheese mix into each potato. Set the potatoes on a platter an top with the chive segments to garnish.

My mom taught me to cook and to appreciate eating (which I believe she inherited from her father). She gifted me this membership so I'm grateful, thank's Cucina Casalingo! I am married to one of the world's pickiest eaters so I'm challenged to find things that I can make and share with him, no kids. I own my own business as a Professional Organizer. I'm an avid gardener and crafter and love to cook with fresh locally grown foods. I am a member of a CSA and I believe in fresh local and organic! The path to our healthy future is lined with these goodies! Spread the word, then feast!
