Instructions
Preparation

- In a small pot over medium heat, melt the butter until it becomes golden.
- Add the grated garlic to the melted butter, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
- Trim off the ends of the russet potatoes and slice away the sides to create square blocks.
- Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the potatoes crosswise into 1/8 inch slices.
- Arrange the potato slices into blocks and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet in columns.

- Bake until tender in the center and crisp on the surface, about 30 to 40 minutes.

Notes
For a richer flavor, add grated Parmesan cheese in the last five minutes of baking. Allow slices to rest after cutting to remove excess starch for extra crispiness.
