Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare the potatoes. Wash and dry the potatoes. To ensure stability during slicing, cut a thin sliver from the bottom to create a flat surface.
Step 2
Use a sharp knife to make thin, even slices into the potato, stopping just before cutting all the way through.
Step 3
The potatoes should have a fanned effect (like an accordion).
Step 4
Infuse the oil. In a small saucepan, combine olive oil, rosemary sprigs, and garlic cloves. Heat gently over low heat for a few minutes.
Step 5
Transfer the potatoes to a baking sheet. Brush generously with the flavored oil, ensuring it gets between the slices.
Step 6
Season liberally with salt. Bake for 40 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 7
Meanwhile, put the remaining oil back on the heat and add the butter. Once the potatoes are out of the oven, give them a final brush of oil and season with your favorite herbs.
Step 8
If you want an even more delicious result, add mozzarella, covering the entire surface well, then bake at 180°C for another 5 minutes.
Step 9
Allow the potatoes to cool slightly before servce
