We recently had sherry potatoes (potato slices baked in sherry and butter) at Selland's, our favorite local cafe. They were so good that we spent many tries attempting to recreate them in our kitchen.

I scoured the Internet looking for a recipe but only came up with some German sites that mentioned sherry potatoes, but no recipe.

We have, however, finally arrived at a method that works, and recreates the divine potatoes we enjoy so much at the cafe.

It's very simple, baking sliced potatoes in butter and dry sherry, salting generously, and sprinkling on a little parsley. The dry sherry truly enhances the flavor of the butter.
