  • Preheat oven to 450-degrees.
  • Place a wooden spoon on each long side of a potato. Cut 1/8-inch slices without cutting all the way through the potato.

Recipe Tips

Place 2 wooden spoons on each side of the potato to prevent from cutting it completely through.
The skin of a Russet potato has more nutrients than the inside of the potato. Potatoes are loaded with fiber and about half of the potato's fiber comes from the skin.
