Ingredients:

  • 4 medium russet potatoes (about 8 oz/225g each), scrubbed and cleaned
  • 4 tablespoons (57g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (15ml)
  • 1/4 cup (6g) fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup (6g) fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt (5g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (2g)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking sheet.
  2. Place each potato between two chopsticks or wooden spoons (to prevent cutting all the way through). Make thin slices, about 1/8-inch (3mm) apart, across each potato.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, olive oil, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  4. Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the potatoes, making sure to get between the slices.
  5. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the edges are golden brown and crispy. Baste with the garlic butter halfway through the cooking time. Watch carefully – they should be beautifully browned, but not burned!
  6. Serve immediately.
