These delightful spuds bake up super-crispy thanks to a series of thin slices. Experiment with other herbs and spices, such as caraway seeds and sage
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons butter
- Olive Oil to drizzle
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 3 garlic cloves, sliced
- 10 medium potatoes, scrubbed and patted dry
- 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
Method
Step 1
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add thyme, rosemary and garlic.
Step 2
Place a potato on a cutting board and lay 2 chopsticks alongside each of potato’s longer sides.
Step 3
Slice potato into 1/6-inch slices, cutting only 2/3 of the way through (the chopsticks will make sure your knife does not cut all the way through). Repeat with remaining potatoes.
Step 4
Very gently spread the slices of potato apart. Using a small spoon for the herb butter and working over the bowl to catch drips, spoon a very small amount of herb butter between each slice.
Step 5
Place potato on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining potatoes.
Step 6
Brush potatoes with any remaining herb butter and sprinkle with salt. Drizzle with extra olive oil.
Step 7
Bake until golden brown and tender, about 50 minutes.
