Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place one potato on a cutting board and lay butter knives or chopsticks along both long sides. Slice the potato crosswise into ⅛-inch-thick slices, stopping when the knife reaches the butter knives or chopsticks so the potato stays intact at the bottom. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.

Step 3

Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and use your hands to coat the potatoes, making sure to get the oil and seasonings between the slices. Slide a sage leaf into the cracks between the potato slices. Drizzle with a little more olive oil and roast for 50 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the potatoes from the oven and brush with the melted butter. Return to the oven and roast for another 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender in the center and crispy around the edges.

Step 5

Top with fresh parsley and red pepper flakes before serving.
