Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt, and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Using a sharp knife, slice each potato thinly, making sure not to cut all the way through. The slices should remain connected at the base of the potato to create a fan-like shape. Tip: Place the potato on a wooden spoon to avoid cutting through the bottom.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Add olive oil, minced garlic, finely chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper to the melted butter. Stir well to combine.
Carefully fan out the slices in each potato to expose as much surface area as possible. Use a pastry brush or spoon to evenly coat the potatoes with the butter mixture, ensuring the mixture seeps into the slices.
Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender inside and golden brown on the outside. Baste the potatoes with the remaining butter mixture halfway through cooking for added flavor and crispiness.
If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the potatoes during the last 5 minutes of baking to allow it to melt and form a crispy topping.
Remove the potatoes from the oven, let them cool for a few minutes, and serve warm. Garnish with extra rosemary or your favorite herbs for added freshness.
