A savoury side that's full of flavour
Wash and prick the potatoes all over with a fork or sharp knife then microwave on high setting for 3-4 mns
Melt the butter in the microwave (1mn) and coat 4 metal skewers with it then insert the skewers lenghtways into the potato
With a sharp knife cut through the potato at an angle till you reach the skewer, slowly rotate the potato and continue to cut until you reach the other end of the potato-(it's a bit fiddly but don't worry if you can't get thin slices)- this will resemble a spiral
Place the potatoes on tinfoil or a baking sheet and gently separate the slices evenly if you can and brush all over with the melted butter, rotating to get them all covered
Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl and spoon over the potatoes,rotating to cover them evenly
Bake in Halogen oven for 40 mns- 180° ( or mains oven 200°) turning over after 20 mns
Remove the skewer and garnish with extra cheddar and some chopped parsley
Serve with chicken,salad and a garlic dip
Tip- substitute cheddar for Parnesan or any cheese you prefer
Tip, this is similar to hassleback potatoes so if you cant master the spiral just do hasslebacks and follow the instructions thereafter
