Thank you!

I found this recipe on Facebook and tried it out tonight.  It is delicious!  I will definitely be making these again in the future.  I did not use red potatoes but Maine potatoes and they came out great.  I also poured a bit of olive oil over the top of the potatoes in addition to the melted butter.  

This is how they looked before going into the oven.

Parmesan Upside Down Baked Potatoes 

Ingredients: 

7 red potatoes, washed and cut in half

2-3 tablespoons butter

6 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese

garlic powder

sea salt

pepper

1. Preheat the oven to 400'.  Melt butter in bottom of 9x13 glass (pyrex) pan

2. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and seasonings over the butter.  Place potatoes, cut side down, and 

sprinkle more seasonings on top of potatoes.

3.  Bake 40-45 mins. or until cooked through.  Allow to cool in pan for 5 mins. before serving.  

Coming out of the oven after 45 minutes, the potatoes were bubbly and after resting for about 10 minutes they looked like this.  The Parmesan cheese had firmed up a bit and formed somewhat of a crust on top of the halved potatoes.  

I served them along with a butterflied, boneless leg of lamb and roasted carrots and onions and it all made for a tasty dinner!

Thanks! 

This recipe, Martha Stewart's One Pan Pasta was recommended by a friend and it was as easy as she described.  I did omit the hot pepper flakes so the meal was a little bland.  I used garden tomatoes and basil and also added raw, peeled and deveined shrimp in the last few minutes of cooking which did enhance the dish.  I would definitely make this recipe again but perhaps add those hot pepper flakes the next time!

Recipe: Roast Lamb

This lamb dinner is both easy to prepare and delicious!

I combined about 2 1/2 cups of Garlic and Herb Bread Crumbs, several cloves of garlic put through a garlic press and about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of olive oil.  The mixture should hold together.  

After placing the salted and peppered flattened boneless leg of lamb on top of sliced onions, I spread the bread crumb mixture over the lamb and added cut up potatoes and carrots which had been coated in olive oil and sprinkled with paprika.

 Cover the pan with aluminum foil and roast per this recipe for a tasty feast!
