How to make Hasselback potatoes
Hasselback potatoes get their unique texture and taste from thinly slicing the potatoes. Cut thin slices down the top of your potatoes, taking care not to cut all the way through the bottom of the potatoes. Make a mixture of melted butter, garlic, herbs, spices, olive oil, salt and pepper. Brush that mixture over each of the potatoes making sure to get the mixture in between all the slices. The potatoes go in the oven to bake and crisp up, and that is it!
How to cut Hasselback potatoes
Cutting these potatoes can look a little tricky, but don’t panic you can do it! All you are going to need is 2 wooden spoons and a sharp knife. Grab a potato and slice off a small amount of the bottom of the potato so it will lie on the board without rolling around. After that, place the two wooden spoons on each side of the potato, this stops you from slicing through the potato. Now slice every 1/8 inch of the potato. You should be able to get around 15-20 slices on each potato. Take your time and use a sharp knife! And remember, the more slices, the better the result.
Herb and garlic butter
The garlic butter really is the star of this dish. The flavour is deep, garlicky, and so so delicious. All you need to do is add butter, olive oil, garlic, parmesan, rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper into a small pot and melt it all down. From there, you can use a pastry brush or a spoon to drip the butter onto the potatoes. Make sure you drip the butter unto all of the slices for extra crispiness!
This is an amazing side dish to enjoy when making steak, fish, poultry, or even a Thanksgiving dinner. Get creative with the toppings, and these can be an amazing dinner all by themselves.
