--Betty :)

[AaronGA1983]

Can I substitute celery salt, instead of salt?

[bettyskitchen]

@AaronGA1983 Yes, that would be great!

--Betty :)

[KissHope]

That is restaurant quality and so much appetizing appeal.

[bettyskitchen]

@KissHope Thanks, Hope!

--Betty :)

[alfreetheterminator]

[bettyskitchen]

@alfreetheterminator Thanks!

--Betty :)

[buireolbg]

Are you talking about degrees fahrenheit?

[bettyskitchen]

@buireolbg Yes, I always use Fahrenheit.

--Betty :)

[buireolbg]

@bettyskitchen Ok, thanks. It sounded strange to me cause I'm used to centigrade ;)

[maciasfelipa]

wonderful thanks!

[bettyskitchen]

@maciasfelipa You're welcome!

--Betty :)

[pooey7399]

luv u

[z978ady]

Great recipe. Might try it with prosciutto and porcini mushroom inside each slice with broccoli puree drizzle, and mozzerella, baked and melted.

[bettyskitchen]

@z978ady That sounds great!

--Betty :)

[poey1206]

[poey1206]

[bettyskitchen]

@poey1206 Thanks for your great feedback! I really appreciate it!

--Betty  :)

[angela2760]

Dear Betty, I did as you suggested and read the instructions

and rewatched the video-there is still no mention of covering

the potatoes completely or loosely while baking? My apologies

for digressing this point. Your congeniality is comforting

and appreciated. It shows how you serve every meal with love.

Thank you again, peace, Angela

[bettyskitchen]

@angela2760 Hi Angela! I must not have gone into detail about the aluminum foil. I do cover the potatoes with it while they bake, but take it off when they are nearly done to brown off the top.

--Betty :)

[angela2760]

Dear Betty, When you put the potatoes in the oven, do

you cover them? Thank you, angela

[bettyskitchen]

@angela2760 Hi Angela! Yes, I cover them with aluminum foil. You will always see the complete recipe with each of my videos. Just click the down arrow or "more info."

--Betty :)

[dulce021105]

Hi betty just wanted to thank you sooo much for your helpful videos, i have made these potatoes and my fam absolutely loved them!! YOUR AWESOME BETTY! keep up the good work! <3 much love from SAN DIEGO, CA <3

[bettyskitchen]

@dulce021105 Thanks for the great feedback! I really appreciate it!

--Betty :)

[mellowmark1]

Love your accent.

[olinecantike]

im a big fan of potatoes..thank God i found you!!

u r so great betty!

[vampypink]

im from the uk and my partner is from the states, i'll be moving over there soon. the problem for me is that i love cooking and the difference in brit and american dishes is huge. ive been in a bit of a panic about what foods to cook when i get there, but after watching about 20 or so of your video's this evening, i now have some great ideas!

many thanks for posting these fantastic recipes, i can't wait to watch more and get cooking. you have earned another subscriber

[cheerlettergirl0205]

Betty, they are amazing!!! My friend and I both LOVE them!! Also, we like how their were crunchy :) ENJOYED THE! <3 :) thank you!!

[bettyskitchen]

@cheerlettergirl0205 Thanks for the great feedback! I really appreciate it!

--Betty :)

[lsimmons1122]

The proper pronunciation is "urb" look it up.

Betty, I love you! You have great videos, so helpful in my new life as a wife!

[atourdeforce]

im with TOMFLONG whats with your pronunciation? americas have a terrible habit of calling HERBS ERRBS. VERY NICE VIDEO THOUGH.

[GiavannaLaGamba]

I have the same salt!!!!! Haha, if you ever had a resterant, i would just love to come :) Great Job!!

[1bobbest]

Hey Betty. Nice video on those baked potato fans...I've got 'em cooking right now, thanks for the idea.

[lslavychecker]

YAMMIIIII!!!!

[tomflong]

UURBS!...HERBS....H! .....NICE RECIPE THOU!

[charlieweb88]

It looks tasty

[CrvenaMamba]

it looks so good :D

[sharonipwni]

I love your tip about cutting them with the wooden spoon makes it so much easier and looks better. and the cheese crust looks so yummy with the herby butter. we call these hasselback potatoes in australia and uk.

[renanshima]

I just did and its amazing!!!! btw I left the skin, after baking the skin is really tasty! and the crispy cheese on the top is just something more! =)

nice video and recipe!

[mcclureirl]

Thanks for the recipe. Looks very good!

[dash1141]

I think I'm in love.

[foldini]

yea the skin is good but i think for this recipe peeling the patatoes is the best approach

[munecagirl22]

wow u do a really nice job of explaining things and ur pretty and i love ur blu shirt lol tahns for the recp.

[bettyskitchen]

@munecagirl22 No, it will be fine to leave the skin on. I think it looks a little more elegant without the skin, so it depends on how you plan to use it. It is great with the skin on and has more nutrition.

--Betty :)

[saarahkhan]

yummyyyy..

[bettyskitchen]

@saarahkhan Thanks!

\--Betty  :)

[godvia]

Does it make a difference if the potato is skinned? Taste, cooking time etc?

[mademoisellechoko]

Looks delicious, can't wait to try it :)

[bettyskitchen]

@mademoisellechoko I hope you had an opportunity to try the baked potato fans! Thanks for your nice comment!

--Betty :)

[5277407]

I love my potatoes and Im going to try this. Looks yummy!

[bettyskitchen]

I think you will love these! Thanks for your wonderful comment!

--Betty  :)

[draculusa]

I simply adore your channel! I've tried your pecan pie and now I really want to try these tonight! Unfortunately I only have white potatoes... They're about half the size of the baking potatoes you used... Would they work and would you adjust oven temp/baking time?

[bettyskitchen]

I'm sorry I wasn't able to get back to your before your dinner last night. With potatoes about half the size of baking potatoes, yes, I would lower the temperature to about 350 to 375 degrees. Then I would check them for doneness occasionally, by using a fork (for this recipe). But, the smaller potatoes would be great! Thanks for asking!

--Betty :)

[derekbegins]

wow thats so creative and awesome looking! xDD

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks!

--Betty :)

[singeritaly]

Thank u for the recipe! I come from Italy, and I appreciate so much potatoes cooked in every way. Moreover, I live in the land where pecorino is produced;)

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your lovely comment! You are welcome for the recipe!

--Betty :)

[chrissymoda]

betty i'm sure we would all like to see your herb garden. i'm very intrested in gardening and was delighted to see you using your own produce in your receips. do you have any winter vegetables growing?

[bettyskitchen]

I don't have any winter vegetables growing. If you did not see my herb garden this past spring, just do a search in bettyskitchen for tour of herb garden!

--Betty :)

[myciel32]

i wanna see you in the food network channel.

you amazing! wish my mom could cook like you!

:D

[bettyskitchen]

That is a nice thought. Thanks for the lovely comment!

--Betty :)

[hinrgboy]

Thanks for the easy recipe Betty. Just tried it tonight and I'm sure I'll making it alot more!!

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for the wonderful feedback! I appreciate it!

--Betty :)

[Ayesherz]

Betty you are awesome :)

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your sweet comment!

--Betty :)

[Michael65698]

Whoa! They're some seriously indulgent tatties! I could use everyday margarine If I wanted, couldn't I?

[bettyskitchen]

Sure, margarine would be fine! Thanks for your comment!

--Betty :)

[dl4breeze]

A woman who can cook are just so sexy xP I don't what it is, but it just makes them more appealing.

[bettyskitchen]

I'm glad you like women who can cook!

--Betty :)

[gmed2]

U should be on The Food Network. They need someone that cooks real food for every day cooks and make it this simple! I am so excited to go grocery shopping and cook for my family this coming week after discovering ur videos! Thanks Betty!

[bettyskitchen]

Tjhanks for your lovely comment!  I really appreciate it!

--Betty :)

[sherrysilver100]

How long should I soak the potatoes?

I love all your recipes keep up the good work .

[bettyskitchen]

They don't *need* to be soaked at all; however, if you let them sit at room temperature, they will turn brown. Since I needed to spend some time for preparing the other items, I just let them sit in water until I was ready for using them.

--Betty :)

[killuminati63]

ok ok ill have to admit..  those are some sexy potatoes !!

[bettyskitchen]

I'm glad you like sexy potatoes!

--Betty  :)

[killuminati63]

why are they soaked in water!?

[bettyskitchen]

If you let them sit at room temperature, they will turn brown. I was just busy doing other things, so I put them in water only until I was ready to use them.

--Betty :)

[Worrall82]

wow, a big tanks from nb canada this will be good tonight!!!!mmmm keep up the beautiful and good receipe!

[bettyskitchen]

I hope you enjoyed the potato fans!  Thanks for your comment!

--Betty :)

[killuminati63]

I LOVE IT !! MM IM SOO TRYING THIS

[bettyskitchen]

I hope you enjoy the recipe! Thanks for commenting!

--Betty :)

[whysalmon]

Thnx Betty.

[bettyskitchen]

You are very welcome!

--Betty :)

[WarRogers]

OUTSTANDING! But Betty you should really use sea salt instead of the iodine stuff (healthier). But hey, that's the beauty of your recipes.. it's ingredients ppl usually have in their home already. Besides, in 10 years they'll be telling us the iodine is actually good for us again lol oh well, great recipe!

[bettyskitchen]

I love sea salt! That would be good on these! Thanks for the tip!

--Betty :)

[jocobain06]

thanks Betty i cooked you're recipe it was amazing !

;-)

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your lovely comment and for your great feedback! I really appreciate it!

--Betty  :)

[PointingTheWeigh]

Oh! That is gorgeous and I am thinking of allowing my boys to make this tomorrow in their cookery lesson.

Have to say, I just LOVE the idea of using the spoon to stop the knife going right through, I would never have thought of that and it makes it a lot safer!!

THANKYOU!!

Love and hugs to you both xx

[bettyskitchen]

Hi Linda!

This would be great for a cooking lesson! It takes some precision, and it looks and tastes so nice when it's done! Thanks for your comment!

(hugs)

--Betty :)

[marycooks]

Love baked potatoes.What a delicious new way to fix them. Thanks for the recipe.

[bettyskitchen]

I think almost everyone likes potatoes; and I love thinking up different ways to fix them! Thanks for your lovely comment!

--Betty :)

[dannytokiohotel4eva]

great idea with the spoon handle!

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks! It's really hard to cut thin slices without it! I appreciate your comment!

--Betty :)

[jocobain06]

great idea thanks for this recipe !

[bettyskitchen]

You are very welcome! I hope you enjoy the potato fans!

--Betty :)

[JimboJitsu]

Thanks for the topping idea, you are welcome for the well deserved complements.

[JimboJitsu]

Hurb vs herb... cute...

While watching this video, I was inspired by another favorite Chef I watch Bryan Knox and how good his Jamaican Jerk rub is on sweet potatoes. I was wondering if you think doing a sweet potato fan with Jamaican rub would work similar? If so would you still top it with two cheeses?

Thanks for the entertaining video's that you make! You are my Fav Chef outside of the BBQ arena and my Fav Lady Chef, making you a double favorite! Happy Thanksgiving!

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your lovely comment! I think a sweet potato fan with Jamaican rub would be wonderful. I don't think cheese goes well with sweet potatoes, so I would leave it at that, or maybe try a topping with brown sugar and pineapple. Thanks for your lovely compliments on my cooking!

--betty :)

[mapleloaf67]

Where I come from some call them herbs some call them erbs no biggy tomato tomatoe.Thanx 4 another great recipe!!!!!!!!!!

[bettyskitchen]

--Betty :)

[missannieapple3]

--Betty :)

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your lovely comment! I wish you and your family the Happiest of Thanksgivings!

--Betty :)

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks!  I appreciate your comment!

--Betty :)

[happycoook12]

Hi Betty! Love the wooden spoon tip!!! I will defintely use this recipe soon!

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks! It's a great tip for cutting onions, etc., if you just want to cut part-way down, too! Thanks for your sweet comment!

--Betty :)

[jfsoller]

Thank you, Betty. Another winner! Happy Thanksgiving to you.

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your lovely comment! I hope you have the Happiest Thanksgiving ever!

--Betty :)

[ANIMEGIRL385]

YUUUM!!! That looks really good....so easy to make also....thankyou very much for sharing Betty!! :D

[bettyskitchen]

Yes, it is very easy, and it tastes great with the herbs and cheeses! Thanks for your sweet comment!

--Betty :)

[merchant2]

Looks like a great side dish! Too late for our Thanksgiving though just in time for Christmas dinner. I am also very envious of you and your herbs!!! The last time I was able to harvest was the first week in September. I am indeed quite north of you..all the way up in The Great White North.....Canada of course....Enjoy them while they last! Thanks again for your great tutorials!!!!

[bettyskitchen]

I hope you enjoy the recipe! Yes, I still have fresh herbs. We are expecting a hint of snow this weekend, so that may take care of them. :(

--Betty :)

[vgfigue]

I just about cried when i saw your recipes. My 7 yr old is allergic to peas, corn, nuts, wheat, soy, and eggs. I'm so glad that you have some recipes that she can eat. She watches your videos with me. Thank you!!! Can you make sweet potatoes with marshmallows??? Please?

[bettyskitchen]

I am glad that I have some recipes that your daughter can use. I won't be able to make sweet potatoes with marshmallows before Thanksgiving--possibly before Christmas! Thanks for your comment!

--Betty :)

[richellebweber]

wow! thanks again for another recipe.... ur the best..... im running out of words what else im gonna say.... God bless!

[bettyskitchen]

You are so sweet! Thanks for all of your lovely comments!

--Betty :)

[itsageoffrushthing]

yum, yum, YUM!!!!!!!!!!

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks! I hope you enjoy the potatoes!

--Betty :)

[sazara123]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

Love baked potatoes and I am going to make it for dinner tomorrow along with a nice tomato soup, having a light dinner the day before Thanksgiving, A tradition in my family.

Thanks Betty for the wonderful recipes.

[bettyskitchen]

I hope you enjoy the potatoes in your light dinner. That is a good tradition to have before Thanksgiving Day! Thanks for your sweet comment--you are most welcome for the recipe!

--Betty :)

[KandieeCurls]

These look really fancy and would be impressive to my dinner guest. Besides everyone loves potatoes! Ms. Betty you know you have it going on in your kitchen!

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your sweet comments! Yes, this potato is beautiful beside a nice entree and green salad--looks really elegant and tastes great!

--Betty  :)

[Deb1006]

I did make this tonight .I didnt have baking potatoes so just used regular.But still turned out nice and yummy.

[bettyskitchen]

That's great! Thanks for your wonderful feedback!

--Betty :)

[mmdghr]

omg 5 stars !!!!!!

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your great comment! I appreciate it!

--Betty :)

[laur803]

Oh wow, these look so yummy! I also wanted to say that I am going to attempt your pecan pie recipe for Thanksgiving! I am super excited to make it!!

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for the compliment! I am glad you are going to try the pecan pie--it's delicious! You need to protect the crust and top from getting too brown, but otherwise, it is very easy, and so, so good! Good luck with it, and Happy Thanksgiving!

--Betty :)

[skabibble]

Also wanted to say, that I use pecorino romano all the time, even in place of parmesan. Its usually cheaper and has a similar flavor!

[bettyskitchen]

I started using it just recently--love it!

--Betty :)

[skabibble]

Great recipe Betty:) The spoon idea makes sure you don't screw up, nice tip! I would use unsalted butter and adjust the seasoning with kosher salt. You STILL have garden herbs!?? Lucky you:) Thanks.. and this is another one I will do!

[bettyskitchen]

Oh, I'm glad you like the recipe! Yes, you can use unsalted butter and adjust the seasoning with kosher salt. I *do* still have herbs growing! Thanks for your lovely comment!

--Betty :)

[bettyskitchen]

Yes, it does add some interest--and some flavor! Thanks for your nice comment!

--betty :)

[krukka]

Nice.. really good trick using a spoon handle! Genius!

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your lovely comment! I hope you enjoy the recipe!

--Betty :)

[karlalana]

this looks wonderful, so simple to make and so pretty too! I love your videos!

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks! Yes, it is really simple, but it is impressive beside a nice entree! Thanks for your sweet comment!

--Betty :)

[Patsymd]

What a great idea. You could go crazy coming up with different combinations of seasonings and spices or cheeses, couldn't you? Very nice idea for the winter to go with any sort of roasted meat or fish.

[bettyskitchen]

Yes, you could have a different-tasting potato each time, just by changing the herbs and cheeses! It looks really pretty, too! Thanks for your lovely comment, Patsy!

--Betty :)

[JanniPink]

that looks amazingly yummy!!!

[bettyskitchen]

I think you will enjoy it! Thanks for viewing and commenting!

--Betty :)

[blessone48021]

Wow, the potateos looks delicious and appealing. Thanks again Betty for sharing.

[bettyskitchen]

You are very welcome! Yes, these potatoes look a little fancy, and they taste wonderful! Thanks for your sweet comment!

--Betty :)

[kimeeehhh]

Made something like this a while ago, and it tasted really great! We had smaller potato's so they opened a bit easier. Also while cutting we put them in a spoon, just like you put the handle of a spoon next to it, so they wouldn't be cut all the way through.

We didn't put herbs on top of it, so next time I will try your version out!

[bettyskitchen]

I'm glad we're thinking along the same lines! I think you will like the herbs, but it is good without them, too! Thanks for your nice comment!

--Betty :)

[thornekatt]

looks great...and pretty presentation

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks very much! I appreciate your comment!

--Betty :)

[daless127]

Great recipe, I look forward to trying this. Thanks for sharing!

--Betty :)

[test804]

Betty you're so pretty :)

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for the compliment!

--Betty :)

[LadyofTheSummer]

That looks so good and pretty too! Really easy for a beginner cook like me (although your other recipes aren't hard either, look forward to trying the potato yeast rolls). I'd tr this with chives or dried dill. Thanks!

[bettyskitchen]

Chives and dill are a good combination for these potatoes. They will look lovely and taste great!  Thanks for your sweet comment!

--Betty :)

[tuttle566]

I'm not a big fan of baked potatos but I must say these looked wonderful will be trying these for sure.

[bettyskitchen]

I'm glad to win you over! I think you will like the potatoes this way! Thanks for your comment!

--Betty :)

[theresa8042]

That's very clever using the spoon like that ! I never would have thought of that . It looks real good . I love potatoes ! Yum , Yum ! Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving ! Thank you again

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your lovely comment! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving, as well!

--Betty :)

[virgosapphires]

OOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!  Those look so delicious! I love anything made with potatoes!!

[bettyskitchen]

I have found that potatoes are just about the most popular thing that I post! These really are lovely and taste great! Thanks for your sweet comment!

--Betty :)

[prettyinpunk666]

Baked potatoes are usually so blah, but these look way tastier!

[bettyskitchen]

Yes, this will make them tastier--and they look more appetizing! Thanks for viewing and commenting!

--Betty :)

[mukwah1111]

Super recipe Betty ! We call them "Hasselback" potatoes. They work great wrapped in foil & cooked on the bbq in summer....top rack, turn often. If you have time to presoak them for an hour or more in ice water....the slits open wide during baking time & look very pretty. Your fresh herbs are wonderful. I am planting some in pots right now to place in my south facing window to hopefully get some fresh herbs over the winter time. Great inspiration to us "Foodies" Betty ! Outstanding !

[bettyskitchen]

Your barbecue idea sounds wonderful! Also, that is a great tip, putting them in ice water to open the fans--I've done that to make radish roses, but I didn't even think about it for these potatoes! Great tip! Good luck with your herbs over the winter!

--Betty :)
