Ingredients

Russet potatoes, peeled

Seasoning:
4 Tbsp melted butter
¼ tsp lemon pepper
½ tsp garlic powder 
½ tsp Cajun powder
¼ tsp black pepper

Alternative Seasoning:
2 Tbsp olive oil or melted butter
1/2 tsp salt

Directions

Cut the ends off of the potatoes, then cut vertically into ¼“ slices.
One at a time, place the potato slices between two skewers.  Cut straight lines across the potato, using the skewers to prevent cutting all the way through. Flip the potato over, then cut diagonal lines across the potato.
Insert a skewer in the middle of the potato.  Fan it out & twist it.  Repeat with the remaining potato slices.  Submerge the potatoes in cold water for a few hours. 
Remove from water, then pat dry & place on a foil lined baking sheet.
Mix the spices into the butter, then brush on the potatoes.
Bake for 25 minutes at 350°.
