Method

Cutting the potatoes

1. preheat the oven to 400°F
2. cut off the bottoms of the potatoes so they can stand stably on their own
3. place two spoons, one on each side of the potato
4. slice the potato in about 2 millimeter portions, using the spoon handles to keep the blade from cutting entirely through

Baking and basting the potatoes

1. put the potatoes on a sheet pan and coat them with a little bit of oil, melted butter, and salt, spreading it all over
2. cook in the oven for 30 minutes at 400°F
3. mix melted butter and oil in a small bowl and use a brush to spread the mixture all over the potatoes, getting into all the cracks and coating each side of all the slices
4. add more salt on top
5. put in the oven for 10 minutes
6. add chopped rosemary and garlic to the melted butter and oil in the pan and mix
