Quicker Baked Potato

Try this method for speeding up the potato baking process (for a better texture than those that you microwave). Pre-heat the oven to 400. Place the potato in boiling water for 10 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes. This will cut the cooking time in half.

 

Better-than-salt Herb Blend


seasonings, herb/spice

3 bay leaves -- finely
1 chopped
4 tablespoon oregano
4 tablespoon onion powder
4 teaspoon marjoram
4 teaspoon basil leaves
4 teaspoon winter savory -- ground
4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoon rosemary leaves --
1 teaspoon sage
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon black pepper -- ground
1 tablespoon lemon zest -- dried

The recipe is for dried herbs. If you have your own herb garden, do try drying your own. They will dry in seconds in a microwave, or in a longer time in a warm oven (about 180 degrees). Leave the oven door slilghtly ajar to allow moisture escape. Unless you have not time and patience that I have, buy the onion and garlic powders. I have tried chopping my own fresh garlic and onion, but they take too long to dry for me. Mix and crush to a coarse powder with a mortar and pestle or a small blender or food processor. The Herb Blend is delicious on slald greens, on sliced tomatoes and cucumbers, on fish, hamburgers, meat loaves, steaks, omelets, etc. Try mixing the Herb Blend with a stick of butter or margarine. Let stand in refrigerator for a day of two for good flavor. Use Herbed butter on vegetables, breads, meats, fish, etc. Recipe By : The Rosemary House From: Adamsfmle@aol.Com Date: Fri, 12 Jul 1996 23:38:41 ~0400
