Hasselback Potatoes are thinly sliced, roasted potatoes that are crispy on the outside and tender inside. This elegant yet simple side dish is customizable and makes a stunning presentation for any meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 medium-sized potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1/2 tsp garlic powder)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, or parsley), chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and dry potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skins on.
  3. Place each potato between two wooden spoons or chopsticks and slice thinly across, about 1/8 inch apart, without cutting all the way through.
  4. Brush each potato with olive oil or melted butter, making sure to get between the slices.
  5. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic.
  6. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 45–60 minutes, brushing with more oil halfway through.
  7. If adding cheese or toppings, sprinkle them on during the last 10 minutes of baking.
  8. Remove from oven, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use chopsticks or wooden spoons to prevent cutting through the potato.
  • Fan slices gently with a fork halfway through baking for crispier edges.
  • Stuff slices with cheese or garlic for added flavor.
  • Top with sour cream or your favorite sauce before serving.
  • Best texture is achieved when baked fresh rather than microwaved.
