Directions

Preheat the oven to 400ðF (200ðC).

Lightly coat a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

Slice each peeled potato in half lengthwise.

Keeping the halves intact, slice each half horizontally into thin 1/4-inch slices, creating a fan shape.

Carefully place each potato fan on the prepared baking sheet, pressing down gently with your fingers to spread the slices apart.

In a small bowl, whisk together the melted margarine, olive oil, and dried basil.
-
Brush the herb mixture evenly over all sides of the potato fans.
-
Bake for 30 minutes until the potatoes begin to soften.

While potatoes bake, combine the bread crumbs, grated parmesan cheese, and water in a small bowl until well mixed.
-
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the partially baked potatoes.
-
Return to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the topping is golden brown.
