You will need…

Pre-heat oven to 400 F. Wash potato and pat dry. Cut the ends off the potato and the edges to make it look like a rectangle (picture 1 below).
Then cut the potato into squares about 1/4-1/2 inch thick (picture 2).
Make vertical slits 1/2 way through the potato without cutting all the way through (picture 3).
Flip the potato over and cut vertical slits 1/2 way through the potato without cutting all the way through (picture 4).
Note: place an object like a chop stick on the side of the potato you are cutting to prevent from cutting the potato all the way through (pictures 3 & 4).
Melt butter in a bowl and add seasonings. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Brush potato squares with butter on each side. and place on a the baking sheet.

After 40 minutes, put the oven on broil for a few minutes if you want to make potatoes extra crispy. Remove from oven and enjoy!
