Tips

  • Place a spatula or two chopsticks on either side of each potato to avoid slicing all the way through.
  • Aim for thin slices (about 2 mm thick) and cut deep, stopping just short of the base (around 1 cm uncut) for perfect fanning.
  • Brush melted butter across the top multiple times to help loosen slices and deliver flavor between layers.
  • Use medium-sized starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for best texture.
  • Freshly grated Parmesan is recommended over pre-shredded varieties for better melting and texture.
