Mini Hasselback Potatoes
Mini Hasselback Potatoes are petite gold potatoes sliced thinly but not through, roasted until tender with crisp edges, then served with a fresh herb and garlic olive oil drizzle. The cuts increase surface area for flavor absorption and texture contrast between crispy outside and soft interior, enhanced by basil, chives, parsley, and garlic.
