Ah, Hasselback potatoes—crispy, golden, and tender in the middle 🥔✨. They look fancy but are actually super easy to make.
🥔 Hasselback Potatoes
Ingredients (4 servings)
- 4 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet work well)
- 3–4 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional toppings: garlic cloves (thinly sliced), fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, parsley), grated Parmesan, paprika
Instructions
- Preheat oven
425°F (220°C). - Prep the potatoes
- Wash and dry potatoes.
- Place each potato on a cutting board.
- Make thin slices about ⅛–¼ inch apart, stopping before cutting all the way through (so the potato stays in one piece).
Tip: Place chopsticks or wooden spoons on each side of the potato while slicing—they prevent cutting all the way through.
- Season & oil
- Brush the potatoes with olive oil or melted butter, making sure some gets between the slices.
- Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and optional seasonings.
- Bake
- Place potatoes on a baking sheet.
- Bake 45–60 minutes, brushing with more oil or butter every 15–20 minutes.
- The edges should be crispy, and the insides tender.
- Optional toppings
- Sprinkle grated cheese in the last 10 minutes of baking for extra flavor.
- Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
🌟 Tips
- Small potatoes cook faster; large ones may need extra time.
- For extra crispy edges, turn the oven to broil for the last 2–3 minutes (watch carefully!).
- Serve as a side for meats, poultry, or even as a main with toppings like sour cream or bacon bits.
