  3. Cut in equal thin slices nearly to the bottom. Top tip: place the potato between 2 chopsticks so that you don't cut all the way through.

  4. Once you have cut each potato, baste in the oil mixture.

  5. Place the potatoes in an oiled baking tray.

  6. Baste the potatoes with the oil mix and bake for 40mins.
