Elevate your side dish game with these mouthwatering Crispy Garlic Fan Potatoes. With a beautiful fan shape, they make for an impressive presentation, and their crispy exteriors are perfectly complemented by buttery and garlicky flavors.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly, and if desired, peel them.
3
Parboil the potatoes in a pot of salted boiling water for 6 to 7 minutes to ensure they become extra crispy in the oven. This step is optional but recommended. Allow the potatoes to cool for a few minutes.
4
Place two wooden spoons on a cutting board and position a potato between them with the flattest side down. The spoons will prevent you from cutting all the way through, keeping the potato in one piece.
5
Slice the potatoes at 1/4-inch intervals, stopping at the wooden spoons, and repeat for the remaining potatoes.
6
Insert a thin slice of garlic into every second cut of each potato.
7
Sprinkle the potatoes with sea salt and black pepper to season.
8
Arrange the potatoes in a glass baking dish, making sure they don't touch each other.
9
Combine the melted unsalted butter and olive oil, then brush the mixture lightly over the potatoes, reserving the rest for basting.
10
Bake the potatoes for about 1 hour, basting every 15 minutes with the reserved butter and oil mixture until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown. Cooking time may vary based on the size of the potatoes.
