This is an impressive spud that would shine at any Sunday roast or make a perfect addition to the Christmas Day dinner plate.

Any potato will do, they all seem to turn out well. Using a wooden spoon as a guide, slice straight down into the potato, but stop just short of cutting all the way through. Make your slices as thick or as thin as you like.
