Parmesan Potatoes

We were grilling salmon burgers one day and needed a side dish. It's so nice and easy to throw it on the grill with everything else OR just bake them. They are delicious with their simple, fresh flavor. The perfect compliment for any meat. I tweaked a Betty Crocker recipe. Serves 4.

Parmesan Potatoes

4 medium potatoes, washed and thinly sliced
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 c Italian style bread crumbs
2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp butter, melted
1 Tbsp chopped fresh basil leaves, or 1 tsp dried
black pepper, to taste

1. Preheat coal or gas grill for medium heat OR oven to 450 degrees.
2. Lie two sheets of aluminum foil on flat surface. Divide potato slices equally between the two sheets. Pour melted butter over potato slices and toss gently to coat.
3. Mix salt, bread crumbs and Parmesan Cheese in small bowl. Pour mixture evenly over potatoes and toss gently to coat. Sprinkle black pepper on top top to taste.
4. Wrap foil securely over potatoes; pierce top of foil once with a fork to vent steam.
5. Grill seam side up 4-6 inches from medium heat, rotating once OR bake in oven, for 15-23 minutes or until potatoes are tender (careful to watch them or the bottom potatoes will burn--the thinner you slice them, the quicker they cook). Unfold foil and serve.
