Almost Cut Potatoes

This slightly crispy version of a baked potato is a great change up and oh so easy!
Ingredients:

• Large Russett Potatoes
• Olive Oil
• Sea Salt
• Pepper
• Loaded Potato Topping

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Wash the potatoes thoroughly.  Cut them almost all the way through, brush on olive oil.  Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with garlic powder.  Top each potato with a few pats of butter and bake for 40-50 minutes.  About half way through you may want to brush on another layer of olive oil, depending on how crispy they are getting.  They are even better with Loaded Potato Topping.

I like to serve this with my Herb Butter Steakhouse Steak because the oven temp is 400 for both so no adjusting!

Two- Step Pierogies

I try to incorporate meatless dishes into our monthly menu and I will be the first to admit that I struggle with it and I am always looking for suggestions.  Pierogies are a family favorite but only because my Mother-in-law introduced this Two-Step way to prepare them.  Previously I would just boil them and toss them with a little butter.  Her way is MUCH better.  I know that this isn't really a recipe, it is more like a cooking variation.
