Garlic Hasselback Potatoes

  Put 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.

  Cut 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.
