Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Large potatoes (e.g., Maris Piper or King Edward)
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 whole Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan)/400°F/Gas Mark 6.
Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skins on for extra flavor and texture.
Place a potato on a wooden spoon or between two chopsticks, and carefully slice the potato into thin slices, about 3mm apart, being careful not to cut all the way through. The spoon or chopsticks will help prevent cutting through the bottom of the potato.
Repeat the slicing process for all the potatoes and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
Using a pastry brush, generously coat the potatoes with the garlic butter mixture, making sure to get the butter in between the slices for maximum flavor.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, basting with the garlic butter every 20 minutes to keep them moist and flavorful.
Check the potatoes for doneness by inserting a knife into the thickest part; it should slide in easily. The edges of the potato slices should be golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional rosemary if desired.
