Grandma's Secret Trick

Grandma's Secret Trick

Sometimes Grandma gave the potato skins a subtle herb flavor that went especially well with beef entrees. She sprinkled a little crushed dried rosemary or dried thyme on the skins along with the kosher salt. She prepared half the potatoes this way, and left the other half plain for the children.
