Hasselback Potatoes I

Description
Serves 4



Ingredients

 * 4 oval baking potatoes, medium
 * 1 T butter
 * 2 T butter, melted
 * Jarlsberg Cheese, grated
 * paprika

Directions

 * Peel the potatoes
 * Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a paper towel.
 * Slice the potatoes very finely - but not all the way throughItalic text! (This more easly accomplished if a slice of the potatoes is cut off entirely to make it more stable)
 * Place the potatoes side by side, cut side up, in the dish brushed with butter.
 * Brush the potatoes with melted butter and sprinkle with salt.
 * Sprinkle with bread crumbs
 * If needed, brush again with melted butter after 30 minutes.
 * About 5 minutes before they are baked, sprinkle with grated Cheese and paprika.
 * Total baking time--50 minutes.

(And, remember, this is not a Norwegian dish...but a Swedish one... as the name alone would indicate. Quite a bit of work involved, well worth it)
