For extra crispiness, broil the potatoes for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, watching carefully to prevent burning. Feel free to experiment with other herbs like thyme or sage in the butter mixture. If you don't have chopsticks, you can use wooden spoons or simply be very careful when making the slits. Make sure you dry the potatoes well after soaking them in water, otherwise the butter won't crisp them properly in the oven.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepFill a large bowl with cold water and stir in lemon juice; set aside. (2 minutes)
03
StepSlice off the bottom of a potato lengthwise to create a stable base for cutting. Place potato between two chopsticks. Cut slits 1/4 inch apart, using the chopsticks as a guide to prevent cutting all the way through; the slices should remain connected at the bottom. Carefully fan out the sliced pieces without breaking them apart. Place cut potato in the prepared lemon water while you cut remaining potatoes. (20 minutes)
04
StepMelt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat. Stir in rosemary sprigs, garlic slices, salt, and pepper. Allow to infuse for 2 to 3 minutes, letting the flavors meld. (5 minutes)
05
StepRemove potatoes from the water, pat them dry thoroughly, and place them on a baking sheet. Brush potatoes generously with some of the garlic rosemary butter mixture. Make sure to get the butter into the slits. (5 minutes)
06
StepBake potatoes in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Brush with more of the butter mixture, ensuring it flows down into the fanned potato slices. Continue baking until potatoes are tender and crisp, about 30 minutes more. (60 minutes)
07
StepRemove potatoes from the oven and brush them with the remaining butter mixture. Sprinkle with additional salt, if needed, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy! (5 minutes)
