Beef and Butter-Fan Potatoes

1 beef rolled rump roast (4 1/2 to 5 pounds)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
12 medium baking potatoes
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs (any flavor) Paprika or Old Bay Seasoning

Heat oven to 325 degrees.

Place beef roast, fat side up, on rack in shallow roasting pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Insert meat thermometer so tip is in center of thickest part of beef and does not rest in fat. Roast uncovered for 1 hour, 45 minutes to 2 hours, 15 minutes, or until thermometer reads 140 degrees (for medium-rare) to 155 degrees (for medium).

While beef is roasting, continue with recipe. Peel potatoes. Make crosswise cuts 1/4 inch apart in each potato to within 1/2 inch of bottom. Heat 1 inch water (salted if desired) to boiling. Add potatoes. Cover and heat to boiling; boil 10 minutes. Drain and cool slightly. Brush each potato with butter, separating cuts slightly to resemble fan. Sprinkle with seasoned salt and bread crumbs. Place on rack with beef. Roast about 1 hour, 30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and golden. Remove beef from oven and let stand 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle potatoes with paprika or Old Bay Seasoning.

Serve with beef juices. Makes 12 servings
