Hasselback potatoes are a delicious and visually impressive side dish that is perfect for any occasion. Originating from Sweden, these potatoes are cut into thin slices, almost all the way through, allowing them to fan out slightly and cook to a crispy perfection. With the aromatic blend of olive oil, parsley, oregano, and bread crumbs, your Hasselback potatoes will be flavorful and crunchy.
Instructions:
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly.
- Place each potato between two chopsticks or the handles of wooden spoons. This will prevent you from cutting all the way through the potato.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the potatoes thinly, about 1/8 inch apart, making sure not to cut all the way through. The chopsticks or wooden spoons will help stop the knife from going right through.
- Place the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in a baking dish.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes, making sure it gets down into the slits.
- Mix the fresh parsley, dried oregano, and bread crumbs together in a small bowl.
- Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the potatoes, getting it as much as possible into the slits.
- You can gently fan the potato slices open a bit more to ensure the mixture is evenly distributed.
- Place the baking sheet or dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges, and tender in the middle. The exact baking time will depend on the size of your potatoes.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Garnish with additional parsley if desired and serve warm.
Tips:
- Use a sharp knife to make thin, even slices in the potatoes.
- Place a wooden spoon or chopsticks on either side of the potato while slicing to avoid cutting all the way through.
- Brush the potatoes with olive oil generously to ensure they become crispy.
- Sprinkle the herbs and bread crumbs evenly to cover all slices.
- Bake the potatoes in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 45-60 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
With these easy steps and helpful tips, you can now prepare delightful Hasselback potatoes that are both crispy and flavorful. Whether served as a side dish at a family dinner or a special occasion, these potatoes are sure to impress your guests and become a favorite in your recipe collection.
