Baked Potato Fans

Dave has been working out in Colorado for the last week. He made it home this afternoon. . .safely. . .YAY! He's been working close to home for the last year, but before that he was working out in Colorado almost every other week. The kids had a hard time with him being gone, but we always planned a special dinner and dessert for his homecoming. We all looked forward to that. So when Dave called to tell me he was coming home tonight, our "special" dinner had to be planned. If you read yesterday's post, you know that the chicken we had was perfection on a plate, and these potatoes went well with it! Dave loved them. SO good with sour cream. They are simple to make. Literally two minutes to throw together then pop them in the oven and walk away for an hour. They'd be good with some shredded cheese on top too.

Baked Potato Fans

4 potatoes
3 to 5 garlic cloves, minced
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Sour Cream

1. Slice potatoes, very thinly, almost all the way through, but not quite.

2. Melt together butter, salt, pepper, olive oil, and garlic.

3. Drizzle over the top of the potatoes.

4. Bake at 400 degrees for just over an hour. Keep "basting" your potatoes as they bake to make sure that delicious garlic flavor is in every bite.

5. Serve with sour cream!
