- medium-sized Russet potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes (6-8 ounces each)
- unsalted butter (1/2 cup)
- fresh garlic (4-6 cloves, minced)
- fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
- fresh thyme (finely chopped)
- extra virgin olive oil (a couple of tablespoons)
- flaky sea salt (to taste)
- freshly cracked black pepper (to taste)
- fresh chopped parsley (for garnish)
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, then pat them dry.
- Place each potato between two wooden spoons or chopsticks to prevent cutting all the way through. Slice the potatoes thinly, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch apart, without separating them.
- Transfer the sliced potatoes to a lined baking sheet. Drizzle generously with olive oil and season with flaky sea salt and black pepper. Bake for 45-50 minutes.
- While the potatoes bake, melt the unsalted butter in a small bowl or saucepan. Stir in the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme.
- After the initial bake, brush the garlic herb butter over each potato, ensuring it seeps into the slices. Return the potatoes to the oven for another 30-40 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Once done, transfer the potatoes to a serving platter and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve hot.
