Instructions

Preheat oven to 475°F.

Cut a thin slice off the bottom of each potato so they lay flat.

Using a sharp knife, make 20–30 thin slices lengthwise across the top of each potato, about ¼ inch apart, leaving about ½ inch at the bottom intact. Don't cut all the way through!

Mix the melted butter and oil in a bowl.

Place the potatoes on a baking sheet, brush with half of the olive oil/ butter mixture, sprinkle with salt and bake for 30 minutes.

Brush the potatoes with the remaining oil/butter mixture and cook for an additional 30-45 minutes or until skin is golden and serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Master the Slicing Technique 🔪
Place wooden spoons or chopsticks on either side of the potato to stop your knife at the perfect depth—this prevents cutting all the way through while ensuring even, consistent slices for uniform cooking.
Soak for Extra Crispiness 💧
After slicing, soak potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which allows the exterior to crisp up beautifully while the interior stays tender and buttery.
Butter Infusion Magic 🧈
Melt butter with garlic, rosemary, and thyme, then brush generously between the slices before roasting—this ensures flavor penetrates throughout and creates those irresistible caramelized layers.
Optimal Roasting Temperature ⏱️
Roast at 400°F for 40-45 minutes; this high heat creates a golden, crispy exterior while the interior cooks through completely without drying out.
Finish with Fleur de Sel ✨
Sprinkle fleur de sel and freshly cracked pepper immediately after removing from the oven while the potatoes are still hot, adding a gourmet finishing touch and enhanced texture contrast.
