Hasselback potatoes

Hasselback potatoes are not only a feast for the eyes but also a delight for the taste buds. These perfectly roasted, accordion-like potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making them an excellent side dish for any meal. Here’s how you can make this dish at home using simple ingredients.

Ingredients:

6 potatoes
1200g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tbsp fresh thyme
16g
1 dash salt
1g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt, keeping the skins on.
- Place each potato on a cutting board. Use a pair of chopsticks or wooden spoons along the sides of each potato to create a cutting guide. This ensures you don’t slice all the way through.
- Carefully cut thin slices across each potato, about 1/8-inch apart, stopping just before you reach the bottom.
3. Season the Potatoes:
- Place the sliced potatoes on a baking sheet.
- Gently fan out the slices to ensure the seasonings can penetrate between them.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes, ensuring it gets into the crevices.
- Sprinkle the minced garlic and chopped fresh thyme over the potatoes, making sure some of it gets between the slices.
- Lightly sprinkle with a dash of salt.
4. Bake:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges, and tender in the middle. Check by inserting a knife or fork into the center of one of the potatoes; it should go in smoothly.
5. Serve:
- Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven.
- Optionally, you can garnish with a little extra fresh thyme or parsley for added color and flavor.
6. Enjoy: Serve the Hasselback potatoes hot as a delightful side dish to your main course.

Tips:

- Choose potatoes that are similar in size for even cooking.

- Place each potato between two wooden spoons while slicing to avoid cutting all the way through.

- For extra crispiness, add a little melted butter along with the olive oil.

- Rotate the baking sheet halfway through the cooking time for even browning.

- Garnish with extra fresh thyme or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese for added flavor.

Hasselback potatoes are an elegant and delicious addition to any meal. With their flavorful, crispy exterior and tender inside, they are sure to impress your family and friends. Follow these simple steps and tips to achieve the perfect hasselback potatoes every time. Enjoy your delightful creation!
