This side dish consists of crisp rounds of potato held together by slicing them almost all the way through and topping them with herb garlic butter. It is always a delicious choice as a side dish.
Equipment
- aluminum foil
Ingredients
- 4 medium to large Idaho potatoes washed
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp fresh cracked pepper more if you prefer
- 2 tsp finely minced garlic
- 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley any variety is fine
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Wash potatoes, cut off any bruised or damaged spots. Slice potatoes 3/4 of the way through the short way across, 10-12 slices.
- Mix butter, salt, pepper, minced garlic, and parsley together in a small bowl.
- Place sliced potatoes on a sheet of aluminum foil, spread 1/4 of the butter mixer over potato pushing some down into the cracks. Wrap foil up around potato keeping the crease of the foil at the top so the butter doesn’t run out. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
