Crispy Hasselback Potatoes
What are hasselback potatoes?
They are an impressive looking type of baked potato, where the potatoes are sliced, but not all the way through. They are cut about halfway through into thin slices then baked or roasted and what you get is a very handsome and delicious potato. What you get is a crispy top that’s like french fry texture or baked potato chip texture and on the inside, you get the creamy goodness of a regular baked potato. So it’s like the best of both potato worlds all in one bite. Best of all, you can dress it and top it with extra butter, sour cream, cheese, chili or what ever your heart desires. They don’t take much effort or work to make at all.
Watch how to make these cute hasselback potatoes:
The only challenge is to make sure to not cut through all the way when making the thinly sliced tops. Just use two ends of wooden spoons to help keep your from cutting all the way through. Watch our video for roasted hasselback potatoes for guidance on this and you’ll be able to whip up sliced batch in minutes! This is great for parties because you can slice medium sized potatoes and lay them all in a casserole dish. Bake the whole dish of potatoes and it serves a bunch of hungry people. Just have all your toppings on the side and everyone can dress up their hasselback potatoes themselves. Click Here for yummy –> Favorite Potato Recipes
