Sliced Baked Potatoes

4 medium even potatoes
1 tsp. salt
2-3 tbsp. melted butter
2-3 tbsp. chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, chives, thyme or sage or
2-3 tsp. dried herbs of your choice
4 tbsp. grated Cheddar cheese
1-1/2 tbsp Parmesan cheese

Peel potatoes if the skin is tough, otherwise just scrub and rinse them. Cut potatoes into thin slices but not all the way through. Use a handle of a spoon to prevent knife from cutting all the way. Put potatoes in a baking dish, and fan slightly. Sprinkle with salt and drizzle with butter. Sprinkle with herbs. Bake at 425°F for about 50 minutes. Remove from oven. Sprinkle with cheeses. Bake for another 10 to 15 minutes until lightly browned, cheeses are melted and potatoes are soft inside. Check with a fork.
