Time 1h25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large Idaho® Russet Potatoes
lemon juice
4 tablespoons butter or oil
fresh rosemary
1 large clove garlic, sliced
salt
pepper
fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Prepare a bowl of cold water with a squeeze of lemon juice in it. Slice off the bottom of each Idaho® Russet Potato lengthwise to make them steadier for cutting. Place potato between two chopsticks. Cut slits 1/4 apart using the chopsticks as a guide to keep from cutting all the way through. The slices should stay connected at the bottom. Carefully fan out the sliced pieces without breaking them apart. Place the cut potato in the prepared bowl of water while you cut the remaining potatoes.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add a couple of sprigs of rosemary, the sliced garlic, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Let sit a few minutes to season the butter.
  • Remove potatoes from water and dry thoroughly. Place on a baking sheet. Brush potatoes with some of the melted butter and bake for 1 hour. Halfway through cooking, the potatoes will start to fan out. When this happens, brush with some more of the melted butter.
  • Remove from the oven. Brush with remaining butter, sprinkle with salt, and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve right away.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my potatoes didn't turn out as crispy as I expected.

I'm not a huge fan of potatoes, but these were actually really good. The crispy edges were my favorite part.
