Potato Fans (aka Hasselback Potatoes) one of my favorite budget friendly sides to make for my family. They're tender on the inside, crispy on the outside and oh so delicious.
Cut a thin slice off the bottom of each potato so they lay flat.
Using a knife make about 20 slices ( ¼-inch deep) lengthwise from end-to-end across the tops of the potatoes, making sure not to cut all the way through. Leave about a half an inch on the bottom of the potato un-cut.
Mix the butter and oil in a bowl.
Place the potatoes on a baking sheet, brush with half of the olive oil/ butter mixture, sprinkle with salt and bake for 30 minutes.
Brush the potatoes with the remaining oil/butter mixture and cook for an additional 45 minutes or until skin is golden and serve.
