Ingredients
4 medium Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or parsley
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Wash and dry the potatoes. Place each potato between two wooden spoons or chopsticks and slice thinly (about 1/8-inch apart), stopping before cutting all the way through.
3. Melt the butter and stir in the minced garlic.
4. Brush the garlic butter generously between the potato slices and over the tops. Season with salt and black pepper.
5. Arrange potatoes on the baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes, basting with more garlic butter halfway through.
6. Remove from the oven, sprinkle each potato with Parmesan cheese and chopped chives or parsley.
7. Return to the oven for 10 more minutes until the edges are golden and crisp and the centers are tender.
8. Serve hot, garnished with extra herbs if desired.
Notes
For extra crispy edges, brush the potatoes with butter multiple times during baking.
Try different cheeses like cheddar or Gruyère for new flavor twists.
To slice easily, use chopsticks or wooden spoons as a guide to avoid cutting through the bottom.
