Creamy hasselback potato bake

If you're looking for a delicious side dish that's both creamy and cheesy, this Creamy Hasselback Potato Bake is perfect for you. Featuring layers of thinly sliced potatoes covered in a rich sauce made of light sour cream and garlic, then topped with a blend of cheddar and parmesan cheese, this dish is sure to impress your family and friends.

Ingredients:

1 cup light sour cream
230g
2 garlic cloves
6g
6 potatoes
1200g
1/3 cup cheddar cheese
33g
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
60g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Potatoes:
Peel the potatoes, if desired, or scrub them clean if you prefer to leave the skins on. Using a sharp knife, make several cuts into each potato about 1/8 inch apart, cutting nearly all the way through, but not entirely. This will create the signature Hasselback effect.
3. Prepare Garlic:
Finely chop the garlic cloves or use a garlic press to mince them.
4. Prepare Sour Cream Mixture:
In a small bowl, mix together the light sour cream and minced garlic until well combined.
5. Fill the Potatoes:
Gently fan out the sliced potatoes and spoon the sour cream mixture into the cuts. Try to get a little bit in between each slice for maximum flavor.
6. Bake Potatoes:
Place the filled potatoes in a baking dish. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
7. Add Cheeses:
After 45 minutes, remove the foil from the potatoes. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the potatoes.
8. Final Bake:
Return the baking dish to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the potatoes are tender and golden brown.
9. Serve:
Remove from the oven and allow the potatoes to cool for a few minutes. Serve warm as a delicious and creamy side dish.

Tips:

- Choose evenly sized potatoes for uniform cooking.

- Use a sharp knife to make thin, even slices without cutting all the way through the potatoes. Placing chopsticks on either side of the potato can help prevent cutting through.

- Brush the potatoes with melted butter or olive oil to help them crisp up.

- Ensure the sour cream and cheese mixture evenly coats the potato slices for maximum flavor.

- Cover the dish with aluminum foil for the first part of baking to prevent the cheese from burning, then remove the foil to brown the top.

This Creamy Hasselback Potato Bake is an ideal side dish that's both comforting and elegant. Each bite offers a perfect blend of creamy and cheesy goodness, making it a standout on any dining table. Follow the tips provided to ensure a perfect bake and enjoy this delicious recipe with loved ones.
