Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 8 medium russet potatoes

Seasoning & Butter

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Garnish

  • Chives, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the potatoes.
  2. Slice the Potatoes: Place each potato between a pair of chopsticks and carefully cut 1/8-inch thick slices along the potato, slicing until the knife hits the chopsticks. This technique prevents cutting all the way through, keeping the base intact.
  3. Arrange Potatoes: Slightly fan the sliced potatoes apart and place them in a 9×13 inch baking dish or on a baking sheet, allowing space for even cooking.
  4. Apply Butter and Seasoning: Brush about half of the melted butter thoroughly over and between the potato slices. Then sprinkle evenly with kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
  5. First Bake: Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven uncovered for 50-55 minutes until tender and starting to crisp on the edges.
  6. Second Buttering: Remove the potatoes from the oven and brush the remaining melted butter again, making sure to get between the slices for maximum flavor and crispness.
  7. Final Bake: Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the edges are golden and crispy.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, sprinkle with minced chives, and serve warm as a delicious side dish.

Notes

  • Using chopsticks while slicing helps achieve uniform cuts without slicing through the entire potato.
  • Feel free to add cheese or bacon bits between slices for extra flavor.
  • Russet potatoes are preferred for their starchy texture and ability to crisp up nicely.
  • Ensure the oven is fully preheated for the best crispy results.
  • Adjust seasonings to your taste preference.
