2 tbsp butter
1/4 cup honey
Honey hasselback potatoes

Honey Hasselback Potatoes are a delightful twist on the traditional baked potato, offering a crispy outside and soft inside that's sweetened to perfection with honey. It's an easy-to-make dish that can elevate your dinner spread with its unique flavor and presentation.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly.
- Place each potato on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each potato into thin slices, about 1/8 inch thick, making sure not to cut all the way through. To help with this, place a pair of chopsticks or wooden spoons on either side of the potato as you cut; this will prevent the knife from going all the way down.
3. Apply Cooking Spray:
- Lightly spray the cut potatoes with the cooking spray oil. This will help them achieve a crispy texture. Make sure to get the oil into the slits.
4. Season and Bake the Potatoes:
- Place the potatoes on a baking sheet, cut side up.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes until the potatoes start to fan out and the edges become crisp.
5. Prepare Honey Butter:
- While the potatoes are baking, in a small saucepan, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat.
- Once melted, add the 1/4 cup of honey and stir to combine well.
6. Add Honey Butter to Potatoes:
- After the potatoes have baked for 30 minutes, remove them from the oven.
- Brush the honey butter mixture generously over the potatoes, making sure to get it in between the slices for maximum flavor.
7. Final Bake:
- Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and tender all the way through. The honey should caramelize, giving the potatoes a beautiful glaze.
8. Serve:
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Serve warm as a delicious and visually stunning side dish.

Tips:

- Use a sharp knife to make thin, even cuts in the potatoes without slicing all the way through.

- Placing chopsticks or wooden spoons on either side of the potato can help prevent cutting through completely.

- Preheat the oven to ensure even cooking and crispiness.

- Regularly baste the potatoes with the honey and butter mixture for a more intense flavor.

- Consider adding a pinch of salt or a sprinkle of herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra flavor.

Honey Hasselback Potatoes are not just visually appealing but also incredibly delicious. With a few simple ingredients and some easy techniques, you can turn ordinary potatoes into a standout side dish that's sure to impress. Enjoy the combination of crispy edges, tender centers, and the sweet touch of honey with every bite.
