Pleated Potatoes

6 servings

• 1 pound new medium-sized (6) potatoes
•    vegetable cooking spray
• 2 Tablespoons margarine or butter,
     melted
• 2 Tablespoons water
• 1 Tablespoon fresh chives
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon dried chervil
• 1/4 teaspoon dried tarragon
• 1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Cut potatoes crosswise in 1/4-inch slices, taking care not to cut all the way through so that potato remains intact. Place cut side up in a shallow pan coated with cooking spray.

Combine remaining ingredients, stirring well. Brush potatoes with margarine mixture; bake at 400° for 1 hour or until tender and slices have fanned out. Baste occasionally with margarine mixture.

(Make same amount of margarine mixture if cooking for 1 or 2).

Bon appetit!
