Hasselback Potatoes
Description
This Hasselback Potatoes recipe requires slicing washed russet potatoes thinly across their width while being careful not to cut through completely by using wooden spoons as guards. This technique creates evenly spaced cuts that bake to crisp, expandable potato slices. Brushing the potatoes with oil and sprinkling sea salt before baking at a high temperature encourages crisp skin and tender interiors.
After baking for nearly an hour until softened and crispy, a pat of butter is melted on top and allowed to soak in, enhancing richness. A sprinkle of parsley flakes adds a fresh garnish and color contrast.
This preparation produces potatoes that combine creamy flesh with crispy, slightly crunchy edges, making them an interesting side or a standalone snack. Variations include using red potatoes if desired, which can also be baked using this method.
Ingredients
- 4 russet potato washed with skin on
- 2-3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- sea salt flaked
- butter for melting on top
- parsley flakes to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F. Line a small baking sheet with foil.
- Place each potato between two small wooden spoons, so that the spoons are running along the LENGTH of the potato. You want to cut across the width of the potato, not cut it length-wise.
- Using a sharp knife,width-wise slice the potato about every 1/8-inch. The wooden spoons are going to stop you from cutting all the way through the potato. The smaller the slices you make, the faster and crispier the potato will be!
- Place the sliced potatoes on the baking sheet and brush them with the vegetable oil, then sprinkle with the sea salt.
- Bake the potatoes for 55 to 60 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the skin is crispy.
- Remove and place a pat of butter on top of each one, letting it melt and soak in. Sprinkle with parsley to serve!
Notes
- Red potatoes can be substituted for russets in this recipe if preferred.
