Ingredients

• 4 pieces Russet potatoes (medium-sized)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (grated, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Step 2

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skins on. Pat them dry with a clean towel.

Step 3

Place one potato on a cutting board. Position two wooden chopsticks or the handles of two wooden spoons alongside the potato to act as guards. Use a sharp knife to slice the potato into thin, even slices about 1/8-inch apart, stopping just before cutting all the way through. The chopsticks will prevent your knife from slicing entirely through the potato. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Place the sliced potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, generously coat each potato with the melted butter mixture, making sure to get the mixture into the crevices of the slices.

Step 6

Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and use the pastry brush to reapply any melted butter mixture from the baking sheet onto the potatoes. This will enhance the crispiness and flavor.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the tops of the potatoes. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the edges of the slices are golden brown and crispy, and the centers are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 8

Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra rosemary if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
