Ingredients

4 medium baking potatoes ( evenly-sized)
1 teaspoon salt
2 -3 tablespoons melted butter
2 -3 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (ie parsley, chives, thyme, sage) or 2 -3 teaspoons dried herbs, of your choice
4 tablespoons grated cheddar cheese
1 1/2 tablespoons parmesan cheese

Preheat over 425°F.
Peel potatoes, if the skin is too tough, otherwise just scrub and rinse them.
Cut potatoes into thin slices, but NOT all the way through. (Place a handle of a spoon or table knife along-side the potato to prevent the knife from slicing all the way.)
Put Potatoes in a baking dish; slightly fan out the slices.
Sprinkle with salt and drizzle with butter.
Sprinkle with herbs.
Bake potatoes (425 F) for about 50 minutes.
Remove from oven.
Sprinkle with cheeses.
Bake potatoes for another 10 to 15 minutes until lightly browned, cheeses are melted and potatoes are soft inside.
Check for doneness with a fork or skewer.
