• SIMPLi Peruvian Herb Salt and freshly ground black pepper

• 6 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed

Instructions 

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

2. Stir together the butter, SIMPLi EVOO Blend, rosemary and some SIMPLi Salt and pepper in a small bowl.

3. Place a potato between the handles of 2 wooden spoons or 2 chopsticks. Slice the potato into thin slices, leaving 1/4 inch at the bottom unsliced; the spoon handles will prevent you from slicing the potato all the way through. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
