The Grillmaster's "Death Row Potatoes"


Yes, the name of the dish sounds a bit strange, and the overall look isn't that appetising. But it tasted good! For those who loves potatoes and cheese... this is a great and simple dish to do. It's done within 45 minutes. You can have it for any meal of the day.

However, I did make a teeny weeny bit of change to the original recipe. I used a mixture of Parmesean and Cheddar cheese to top the potatoes, instead of only the former as stated in the recipe. The Parmesean will only turn brown and melt on wherever you had sprinkled it on. But with the Cheddar, it will melt over to the other potato slices as it baked.

Also, please place a piece of aluminium foil on the baking tray for the potatoes if you do not want to spend half the time scrubbing away the stuck bits at the bottom of the tray. I'm using an oven-toaster so that was what I did. But I'm not sure if the aluminium foil is needed if you are using an actual oven.

The Grillmaster's "Death Row Potatoes" (from : Nigella)

Ingredients:
- 4 spuds (potatoes) peeled and sliced 1/4 to 1/8 inch thick
- 1 cup parmesean cheese
- 5 to 10 cloves garlic minced, depending on desired garlickiness
- 3/4 stick of butter

- salt/pepper to taste

Directions:
1. Heat oven to 400.

2. In a small pan, melt the butter with medium high heat. When it gets hot and slightly bubbly add the garlic. Cook for 1 minute, and 1 minute only.

3. Dump the garlic/butter over the spuds and toss. Add 3/4 cup parmesean with salt and pepper and toss with wild abandon.

4. Layer the spuds in a buttered baking dish. Top with the remaining parmesan cheese.

5. Bake for 30 minutes, until golden brown on top.
