Hasselback Potatoes Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4 medium-sized russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh thyme or rosemary for garnish (optional)
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and dry the potatoes. Place each potato between two wooden spoons or chopsticks (this prevents you from cutting all the way through). Carefully slice the potatoes thinly, about ⅛-inch apart, stopping just before you reach the bottom.
Season and Butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, olive oil, and minced garlic. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and brush them generously with the butter mixture, making sure it gets between the slices. Season with salt and pepper.
Bake: Bake the potatoes for 45-60 minutes, basting with more butter mixture every 15 minutes, until the potatoes are crispy on the edges and tender in the center.
Finish and Serve: For an extra touch, sprinkle with fresh thyme or rosemary and grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
Conclusion
Hasselback potatoes are the perfect combination of crispy and tender, making them an irresistible side dish for any meal.
