Accordian Potatoes

A great and fun change from baked or mashed spuds. Peel them off one by one, and dip in ranch* dressing or sour cream sprinkled with chives*.
(serves 4)

4 medium baking potatoes, peeled
1/4 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/2 t. coarse Kosher* salt
1/4 t. freshly* ground pepper

Preheat oven to 375. Combine butter, garlic, S&P in a small bowl. Slice 1 potato crosswise, leaving about 1/2" at the bottom still attached. (Place pencils on each side of the potato when cutting to ensure that you don't slice all the way through.) Smear with butter mixture, carefully working it between the slices and coating all sides. Repeat for remaining potatoes. Place on a nonstick baking sheet and bake 20 mins. or until golden brown.
