Hasselback Potatoes
Description
The Hasselback Potatoes recipe features whole Yukon Gold potatoes sliced thinly but not all the way through, using chopsticks as a guide to keep the cuts from cutting through. This slicing technique allows the potatoes to open up and crisp during baking. The olive oil coats the surfaces and edges, helping achieve a golden, crispy texture.
The potatoes are baked initially at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for almost an hour, allowing them to become tender and separate slightly. A mixture of melted butter, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning is brushed onto the potatoes, infusing the dish with savory aroma and flavor. Parmesan cheese sprinkled over the potatoes melts in the oven, adding a nutty, salty finish. Fresh chopped parsley provides a burst of color and freshness.
This dish pairs well as a side to roasts, grilled meats, or vegetable mains. It combines the appeal of a baked potato with an elegant presentation. Leftovers can be stored refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days, making it a practical make-ahead side.
Ingredients
- 6 potato Yukon gold variety
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 3 Tablespoons butter melted, salted
- 1 Tablespoon garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese finely shredded
- parsley chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Wash and dry the potatoes.
- Place one of the potatoes on a cutting board. Lay chopsticks or skewers on both sides of the potatoes. Use a sharp knife to cut slices into the potatoes that are approximately 1/8 inch thick but do not cut all the way through the potatoes (stop when the knife hits the chopsticks or skewers).
- Continue this process until all the potatoes have been sliced.
- Place the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with foil. Rub the olive oil onto the potatoes, getting into the slices if possible.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes until the potato slices are starting to separate from the potatoes.
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic and Italian seasoning.
- Brush the butter mixture onto the potatoes getting into the slices but be careful not to break the slices off.
- Season the potatoes with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the Parmesan Cheese over the potatoes.
- Place the potatoes back in the oven and bake for 15-20 more minutes until the potatoes are tender.
- Let the potatoes cool slightly and then they are ready to serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
