Ingredients

Potatoes

Butter

Salt

Pepper

There are no set quantities for the ingredients.

The potatoes need to be slightly elongated in shape.

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 Fahrenheit

Peel the potatoes and drop them in cold water to prevent discolouration.

Slice a bit off the bottom (one of the long sides) so that the potato can "sit" properly.

Slip a thin skewer parallel to the bottom of the sitting potato. Hold the potato and slice it very thin. The skewer serves to prevent the knife going all the way to the bottom.

Brush the prepared potatoes with warm butter and sprinkle them with salt and pepper.

Place them in a baking dish and into the preheated oven.

Bake until done (about 30-40 minutes), brushing the potatoes with butter when you are past half time.

The slices of the potato when done will be crispy outside while still soft inside. The thinner your slices, the better the end result.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ALTERNATIVES

-----------------------

A crispier exterior can be achieved if you toss the prepared potatoes in hot fat, be it lard, butter or a combination of butter and olive oil, before they go into the oven.

A little garlic butter or slivers of garlic sandwiched between the cut slices of potatoes will add a new flavour twist.

Rosemary twigs slipped in between lend a herby touch.

A sprinkling of breadcrumbs or blue cheese or crispy crumbled bacon added during the last ten minutes of cooking also works very well.
