Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Place a potato on a cutting board. Lay a wooden spoon or chopstick on either side of the potato to prevent cutting all the way through.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the potato crosswise into thin, even slices about 1/8 inch apart, being careful not to cut all the way through. The spoon or chopsticks will help with this.
- Repeat the slicing process with the remaining potatoes.
- Finely chop the fresh thyme.
- Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, chopped thyme, and minced garlic. Mix well.
- Place the sliced potatoes onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking dish.
- Using a pastry brush, generously brush the thyme garlic oil mixture over the top of each potato, making sure to get some oil between the slices for extra flavor.
5. Season the Potatoes:
- Season the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
- Put the baking sheet or dish into the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are crispy on the edges and tender on the inside. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the size of your potatoes and your oven.
7. Check for Doneness:
- To check if the potatoes are done, insert a fork or skewer into the center of a potato. It should slide in easily if the potato is fully cooked.
- If the potatoes are not quite done, continue baking for an additional 5-10 minutes and check again.
- Once done, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Optionally, you can garnish with a bit more fresh thyme or a sprinkle of sea salt for an extra burst of flavor.
Tips:
- Make sure to use a sharp knife to create thin, even slices in the potatoes without cutting all the way through.
- Placing the potato in a wooden spoon or between two chopsticks can help prevent cutting all the way through and achieve uniform slices.
- Before baking, fan out the slices slightly to ensure they cook evenly and become crispy.
- Turning the potatoes halfway through baking can help achieve an even, crispy texture.
- Feel free to experiment with other herbs and spices like rosemary, paprika, or cheese for additional flavor variations.
Thyme Hasselback potatoes are not only visually stunning but also packed with flavor. The combination of crispy edges and soft, fragrant centers will make them a favorite at your dining table. Serve them hot, garnished with extra thyme for a touch of freshness. Enjoy this simple yet impressive dish with your meals.
