Hasselback potatoes are thinly sliced whole potatoes roasted until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. This visually stunning side dish delivers the perfect mix of textures and can be customized with various toppings like cheese, herbs, or garlic.

Ingredients

  • 4 medium Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
  • 3 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced or sliced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, or parsley)
  • Optional: 1/2 cup grated cheese
  • Optional: Sour cream,  green onions, or breadcrumbs for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. Wash and dry the potatoes. Place each potato between two chopsticks or wooden spoons and slice thin slits across the top, stopping just before cutting all the way through.
  3. Place potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Brush generously with olive oil or butter, ensuring some gets between the slices.
  4. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic.
  5. Bake for 45–60 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crisp and the centers are tender.
  6. Optional: In the last 10 minutes of baking, sprinkle cheese or breadcrumbs over the top if using.
  7. Remove from oven and garnish with fresh herbs and desired toppings. Serve hot.

Notes

Use chopsticks or wooden spoons to guide your cuts and prevent slicing through the potato.Gently pull slices apart mid-baking for better fanning and crispier edges.Customize with toppings , pesto, or sour cream.Leftovers can be reheated in the oven to restore crispiness.Prep potatoes ahead and store in water to prevent browning before baking.
