Time 1h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, softened
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh chives
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed
3/4 cup Fromage Fort, recipe follows
1/2 pound leftover cheese pieces
1 clove garlic
1/4 cup white wine
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Stir together the butter, olive oil, chives and some salt and pepper in a small bowl.
  • Lay a potato lengthwise between the handles of 2 chopsticks. Slice the potato thinly, using the chopsticks to stop you from slicing all the way through. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
  • Put the potatoes on a baking sheet and brush on the butter mixture, making sure to get in between all the slices. Bake until tender and crisp, 45 to 50 minutes.
  • Spread 1 1/2 tablespoons Fromage Fort over top of each and bake until cheese is golden brown and bubbly, an additional 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add cheese, garlic, wine and some salt and pepper to a food processor and blend until smooth.
