| 1. The oven temperature will depend on what else you are cooking at the time (e. g. a roast). | 2. Anything between a moderate and high heat will be fine for these potatoes. | 3. Grease a baking tin or tray. | 4. Wash potatoes well but do not peel. | 5. Cut a thin slice from the base of each potato so that they will sit flat on a cutting board. | 6. Place a potato on the cutting board and lay a wooden spoon alongside the length of it. | 7. This stops you from cutting right through to the bottom of the potato. | 8. Now, using a sharp knife, held at right angles to the wooden spoon, thinly slice the potato but DO NOT CUT ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM. | 9. (Think of the way garlic bread is sliced- that's the effect you're looking for.) Repeat until all potatoes are sliced in this way. | 10. Place potatoes into the baking tin. | 11. Now, using a pastry brush, brush butter or margarine over the top of each potato and use the brush (and your fingers) to carefully push some of the butter down between the slices. | 12. Reserve some butter or margarine to baste during cooking. | 13. Bake for around 45 minutes at 180°-220°C (350°- 425°F) before adding spice mixture. | 14. While the potatoes are cooking, combine the ingredients for the spice topping in a small bowl and mix well. | 15. After 45 minutes, brush the reserved melted butter or margarine over the potatoes then sprinkle the potatoes with the spice mixture. | 16. Return potatoes to the oven and bake for a further 15 minutes or until brown and crispy. | 17. (If the potatoes are not browning nicely after the first 45 minutes, simply increase the heat for the last 15- 20 minutes of cooking. If you are cooking a roast, you can time it so that you remove the meat to rest for 15-20 minutes before the potatoes are done). | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
