Method

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, combine clarified butter, thyme, rosemary and garlic. Stir to combine and set aside.

Place a potato on a cutting board and lay 2 chopsticks alongside each of potato's longer sides.

Slice potato into 1/6-inch slices, cutting only 2/3 of the way through (the chopsticks will make sure your knife does not cut all the way through). Repeat with remaining potatoes.

Very gently spread the slices of potato apart.

Using a small spoon for the herb butter and working over the bowl to catch drips, spoon a very small amount of herb butter between each slice. Place potato on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining potatoes.

Wedge 2 bay leaves into each potato, if using.

Brush potatoes with any remaining herb butter and sprinkle with salt.

Bake until browned and very tender, about 50 minutes.
