Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400F.
Clean and cut your potatoes. To cut your potatoes, you want evenly sliced (no larger than 1/4 inch wide), do not cut all the way through the bottom of the potato. You can use a wooden spoon guide (see video).
Melt your herb butter. In a sauce pan, add your butter and minced herbs. Over low heat, melt your butter.
As the butter melts, drizzle olive oil over your potatoes. Using your hands make sure the potatoes are coated in olive oil and salt, about ½ tsp of olive oil and salt per potato.
Pour the melted herb butter overtop.
Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 25 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender, crispy brown and soft. Add a sprinkle of smoked paprika. Brush on the melted herb - butter from the bottom of the casserole dish.
