1

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

2

Wash the potatoes under running water and scrub them well.

3

Trim a small piece from the bottom of each potato so they sit flat.

4

Make vertical cuts in the potatoes, about 3/4 of the way through, ensuring not to cut all the way down.

5

Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes and rub it all over for crispiness.

6

Place the potatoes in the oven for 20 minutes.

7

In a small saucepan, combine unsalted butter, smashed garlic, and rosemary over low heat to melt the butter and infuse the flavors.

8

After 20 minutes, remove the potatoes from the oven and brush the infused butter over them, ensuring it seeps into the slices.

9

Return the potatoes to the oven for another 35-40 minutes, basting them with the butter every 10-15 minutes.

10

About 10 minutes before they are done, remove the potatoes, baste them one last time, and season with salt and pepper.

11

Use a small paring knife to reinforce the slices if they stick together and fan them out a bit.

12

Add rosemary leaves on top for garnish and return to the oven for the final 10 minutes.
