Hasselback Potatoes with Chilli and Lime Butter
Description
This dish starts by making thin slits most of the way through medium potatoes, leaving their base intact to hold the shape. The potatoes are placed in an ovenproof dish and brushed with butter melted together with chopped coriander leaves, deseeded chili, lime zest, and lime juice.
They roast at 200°C (400°F) for about one hour, being brushed halfway through cooking with more butter and seasoned with sea salt and black pepper. The final texture has crisp, goldenened layers with tender, fully cooked interiors. The lime and chili-infused butter adds bright and mildly spicy notes.
The recipe is gluten free and can be made vegan by choosing a dairy-free spread instead of butter. These potatoes make a flavorful side that combines crisp edges and soft centers with fresh and spicy seasoning.
Ingredients
- 4 potato medium
- 3 tablespoons butter (or dairy free vegan spread)
- 2 teaspoons Coriander (cilantro) leaves, finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon red chili pepper deseeded and finely chopped
- lime zest and juice of ½
- salt sea salt
- black pepper sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200C/400F.
- Wash and dry the potatoes and make thin slits in them, approx ¾ of the way down, leaving the bottom intact. Place the potatoes into a large ovenproof dish.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter with the coriander, chilli, lime zest and juice.
- Brush half of the flavoured butter over the potatoes, then place them in the oven and roast for 1 hour.
- Halfway through the cooking time, brush with the remaining butter, ensuring it gets into the layers, and season with salt and pepper.
- Check the potatoes: they’re finished when the layers have come apart, turned golden and the potatoes are cooked through.
Notes
- This recipe is gluten free and can be made vegan by using dairy-free spread instead of butter.
