Recipe report: Bill's Lemon Potato Fans

I made these last night for a dinner with friends. They came out beautifully - they do make a nicer presentation than standard baked spuds and the lemon butter adds a very nice touch. They went very well with brasato al barolo.

Only caveat I'd put in is to be careful when making the partial cuts through the potatoes. I found it to be very easy to go a little too far and end up with two pieces of potato rather than a single fanned one. Be careful with this step and the rest is easy.

Thanks, Bill!

Thanks for the report, Mike.

I had trouble with cutting too deeply, and cut out two quarter inch by quarter inch maple guides, six inches long.

Then Janet reminded me of our wooden set of chop sticks.

Both devices work great -- put the potato between the two sticks and whack away.


Very dressy dish. Thanks for the report.
