Baked Potato Slices

The calendar is telling me it is May, but it is April weather. Here in northern part of Sweden, April weather means rain, snow, hail, and chill mixed with a moderate amount of sunshine which warms up our frozen winter bodies. We have lost spring as a season and are left with three. A short summer, a short fall and a very long winter. Anyway, summer will be here in June. I have to be optimistic.

Summer means grill time and eating outdoor. These oven baked potato slices go well with grilled foods. Wash but leave skins on because the potato peel is the most nutritious part of the potato. It is rich in minerals and dietary fiber.
