Garlic Hasselback Potatoes

Instructions

• 1Put the butter, oil, garlic, salt and pepper in a small saucepan over low heat. Heat for 3-4 minutes until the butter has melted and the salt dissolved. Cover to keep warm.
• 2Cut a thin slice from the bottom of each potato to create a flat, stable base. Place one potato lengthwise between 2 chopsticks or flat-handled wooden spoons. Cut slits into the potato, 1/8-inch apart, stopping when the knife hits the chopsticks. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
• 3Insert the wire rack into the middle shelf position. Preheat the oven. Select ROAST/CONVECTION/425°F/45 minutes and press start.
• 4Grease the roasting pan. Place the potatoes in the roasting pan, flat side down. Brush generously with the garlic butter mixture.
• 5Once preheated, put the potatoes in the oven and roast for 30 minutes.
• 6Remove the pan from the oven, brush the potatoes with the remaining garlic butter mixture and return to the oven.
• 7Roast for another 15 minutes until the potatoes are golden and tender.
• 8Transfer to a serving plate, sprinkle with chives and parsley and serve.
