INGREDIENTS:
 | 4 large potatoes |
| 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |

| 1/4 cup butter or margarine |
| 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice |

DIRECTIONS: Use a kitchen brush to wash the potatoes; remove eyes & dry potatoes (skin on). Combine cheese, parsley, paprika & salt in a small bowl, set aside. Cut each potato crosswise into 1/4 inch thick slices cutting to but not through the bottom of the potato (potato should not separate into sections). Place potatoes into ice water (gently) & chill for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile combine butter, lemon juice & rind in a small sauce pan & heat until butter is melted. After potatoes are dry place them in a large microwave baking dish, cut side up & brush with half of the butter mixture. Cover with plastic wrap & cook on high 6 minutes, turn potatoes direction & cook 6 minutes more or until potatoes are tender. Brush with the remaining butter mixture & sprinkle the cheese mixture over the potatoes. Let stand, covered with foil for 5 minutes & serve.
SERVINGS: 4 TIME: 30 minutes
SERVING TIPS: Can be baked in the oven, if desired; use foil instead of plastic. Try adding your favorite spice to the cheese mixture, such as chili powder, diced chilies or chopped mushrooms.
