How to Make Garlic Potato Fans

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) if baking.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried parsley, 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Wash and thoroughly dry 2 large russet potatoes. Slice potatoes 1/4 inch thick, almost all the way through, creating 'fan' cuts like garlic bread.
  4. Spread a small amount of the garlic mixture into each cut on the potatoes.
  5. **Microwave Method:** Wrap potatoes tightly in heavy-duty plastic wrap. Microwave on high for 12-16 minutes, or until tender. Let stand for 2 minutes.
  6. **Oven Method:** Lightly brush potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt. Place potatoes directly on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender and slightly crispy, flipping halfway through.
  7. Arrange potatoes on a serving dish. Gently press down to fan out the slices. Serve immediately and enjoy!
