I have been dreaming of these potatoes since I first saw them on Joy the Baker almost a year ago, and every time they pop up on Pinterest and make me drool, literally. I am not sure why it took me so long to finally try them, likely a fear they couldn’t crisp up and be delicious without all the fat, but thankfully they can and they are. They are sure to impress any guest and make a fun, crispy, salty, buttery side dish that will make any meal special. Surprisingly they are also a lot easier to make then they look. Yum.

Nutritional Information: 207.3 calories, 8.8g of fat, 29.7g of carbohydrates, 3.7g of fiber, 3.5g of protein

Ingredients

• 1 small potato
• 3/4 tbsp salted butter
• 1 garlic clove
• Salt and pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
2. To make it easier to cut your potato, first cut a small slice off the bottom of the potato so it will rest flat without moving. Then make as many thin slices as you can through the potato without cutting through it completely. Fan the slices out with your fingers as much as possible without breaking the potato apart.
3. Thinly slice your garlic, and stick one slice of garlic in every 3-4 potato slices.
4. Break your butter into smaller chunks with your hands and place on top of the potato. Bake for 40-60 minutes until crispy on the top. If needed, heat on high under the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes.
