Fan-cut the potatoes
Place a potato between two chopsticks or spoon handles. Slice thin crosswise without cutting all the way through — the handles stop the blade. Repeat for all potatoes. Brush generously with half the butter-oil mixture.

Roast until crisp
Preheat oven to 425°F. Place potatoes on a lined baking sheet. Roast 40–45 minutes, brushing with remaining butter mixture every 15 minutes, until edges are deeply golden and centers are tender.
