Steps

45 mins

1

Soak the potato in warm water for about 10 minutes
2

Clean the skin of potato. We will need the skin in place.
3

Cut a 5mm slice from the edge of the potato so as to make a flat surface. We will rest the potato on this side.
4

Now make 3-5 mm slices gently. Make sure not to cut down fully. You must stop the slicing at about 5mm above the base so that it does not get separated. Repeat until entire potato is sliced.
5

Now soak this sliced potato in water till the starch separates.
6

After a while take the potato out and pat dry. Place it on a baking tray and drizzle some olive oil. Sprinkle salt and crushed pepper. You may add thyme, Chilli Flakes or Oregano if you like. I personally like to add slivers of butter between the slices.
7

Bake at 220°C for 50-55 minutes. Pause in between to re apply the dripped oil/butter into the potato. You will notice the slices separating once done. If you like about halfway through you can add some butter to make it more buttery flavoured.
8

Serve hot. Just pull away the slices and enjoy!
