Cook time:1hr20mins

INGREDIENTS

4 large potatoes

1 tablespoon olive oil

4 tablespoons butter shaves/melted butter

Salt&pepper

DIRECTIONS

Thoroughly wash your potatoes and peel them if you so wish,I like my potatoes with the skin on

Using a sharp knife sharply slice the potatoes stopping just when you are about to go through the potatoes ensuring the potatoes stay connected at the bottom.

Space your slices as thin or as wide as you may like,I find about an 1/4 inch slices do just fine

Rub olive oil allover your potatoes and season them with salt and paper.place them on a baking tray and brush over your butter or place your butter shaves on top of the potatoes

Bake this in a preheated oven at 220℃ for 40 minutes.After 40 minutes,the flaps will have opened up,brush on top with the olive oil butter mixture in your baking tray.This is what will ensure they do come out crisper

Bake this for a further 40 minutes.When done take them out of the oven and are best served hot

Enjoy
