serves 4
Ingredients:
2 large potatoes
4 tbs butter
1/4 c heavy cream
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp fresh chervil
2 tsp chopped fresh parsley
2 tsp chopped fresh chives
1 tsp chopped fresh tarragon
salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 325F. Rub the potatoes with a little butter and poke
with a fork. Bake them for an hour, or until done. Cut in half lengthwise
and scoop out the potato into a bowl, taking care not to break the skins.
Add the remaining ingredients (reserving 1 tbs of butter) to the potatoes
and mix thoroughly. Return the mixture to the potato skins and dot the
top of each with a bit of butter. Run the potatoes under the broiler to
brown the tops.
