Cut the potatoes lengthwise into 1/2 inch thick slices. Without crowding the slices, place on a buttered baking sheet. Brush the tops of the slices with melted butter and sprinkle with the basil. Top with Parmesan cheese and a drizzling of melted butter. Bake in a preheated 375 Fdegree oven for 45 minutes.

*We often use rosemary or another herb, depending on what accompanies the potatoes.
