Source: Fabulous Foods
4 large Idaho Potatoes
1/4 C grated Parmesan cheese
3 T chopped fresh parsley
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 C butter or margarine
1 T lemon juice
2 tsp. lemon zest
Scrub potatoes and pat dry. Combine cheese, parsley,
paprika and salt in a small bow; set aside. Cut each
potato crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices, cutting to,
but not through, bottom of potato. Allow potatoes to
stand in ice water 10 minutes. Combine margarine, lemon
juice and lemon rind in a 1-cup microwave-safe glass
measure; microwave, uncovered, at HIGH 30 to 40 seconds,
or until margarine is melted.
Drain potatoes and pat dry. Arrange potatoes, cut side
up, in 12x8x2-inch microwave-safe baking dish. Brush
tops and sides of potatoes with margarine mixture. Cover
with microwaveable plastic wrap and microwave at HIGH 12
to 14 minutes, or until tender; rearranging potatoes
every 6 minutes and brushing with remaining margarine
mixture. Sprinkle potatoes with cheese mixture. Let
stand, covered, 5 minutes.
You could alternatively, bake the potatoes in a
conventional oven.
