Potato "Ships"

These are a real treat.  I made them for special occasions as the kids were growing up.

Ingredients:
4 large potatoes (I use Russets)
1/2 cup butter (yes, that much!)
2 green onions, finely chopped

Method:
Scrub potatoes, leaving on the skins.
Cut each potato crosswise into about 3/16 slices, making sure you don't cut through the bottom of the potato so they keep their shape intact.
Put them in a buttered loaf pan or other adequate baking pan, slices up.
Melt the butter and add the green onions.
Pour over the potatoes.
Bake at 425*, uncovered, for an hour.
Reduce heat to 375* and bake 30 minutes longer or until tender and crispy.

These go really fast.  You might want to make a double batch!
