Hasselback potatoes are one of my all time favourite appetizer to bring for potlucks. They are so easy to make and adding cheese to them make them a major crowd-pleaser!
Hasselback potatoes recipe
1. Wash your potatoes. Place chopsticks or wooden spoon handles on both horizontal sides of the potato. Use a knife and cut 1/2 cm thick slices into the potato. The chopsticks/wooden spoon will prevent the knife from cutting all the way through to the bottom of the potato so that the slices stay intact and you don’t end up with slices of potatoes instead.
2. Soak the potatoes in water for 1 hour. This helps remove some of the starch so that they get crispy when you bake them.
3. Dry your potatoes with a paper towel. Combine 1/4 cup melted butter (or oil) in a small bowl and add in your seasonings. I decided to use garlic powder, Parmesan cheese and Italian herbs. Coat the potatoes with 2/3 of the seasoned butter/oil.
4. Bake potatoes on a lined baking sheet at 425F for 40 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the oven and brush the remaining herbed butter/oil on top. Stuff slices of cheddar cheese between the potato slices. I decided to put it between every other slice because I didn’t want to go too crazy. Return the potatoes back into the oven for another 10 minutes or until the potato slices are tender.
5. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top and enjoy!
I’d eat all the food you have there! The cheese potatoes are such a clever idea!
Wow, you have prepared us quite a feast today! I am especially fascinated by the Hassleback Potatoes! Think I might just try making them this weekend! Thanks so much for making us so many tasty dishes! 😀
I like the cheese in the potatoes, have to try that one. I think that’s all I would need for dinner, maybe a salad to go with. Yum!
Hasselback potatoes are super yummy!! Sadly, I wish I knew the trick to crispy sweet potato fries… but I’ve never had too much luck with them :/ It’s a shame, because I LOVE sweet potato fries and I would so love to be able to make them at home!
I’m lucky to have best friends that are so amazingly talented in cooking. Everything Cyn talked about here was AMAZING, I’m still thinking of those hasselback potatoes! Thanks for hosting =)
