    By Staff
    This week we will be sending you an assortment of recipes. We have enough for you to make a good meal any way you want to use these recipes.

Bake for one hour, basting. Serve on bed of hot rice and garnish with mandarin oranges and parsley. Pour mandarin juice over he chicken for flavoring.

    Peel potatoes. Cut each potato not quite through in a series of crosswise slices about 1/4-inch apart or closer so that they are still joined together at the bottom.
    Brush the potatoes with the melted butter and place in a small baking pan.
    Pour the chicken stock around the potatoes and sprinkle with the thyme leaves. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and roast until the potatoes are half cooked, 25 to 30 minutes, basting every 5 minutes with the butter-chicken stock mixture.
    In a small bowl combine the grated cheese and bread crumbs and divide the mixture evenly between the tops of the 2 potatoes.
    Continue roasting without any further basting until the potatoes are crispy on the outside and cooked through, about 30 minutes.
