Crispy Hasselback Potatoes Recipe

Hasselback potatoes are a visually stunning and delicious way to serve potatoes. Their unique accordion-like cuts allow for extra crispiness and maximum flavor from the seasonings. This recipe will guide you through making perfect Hasselback potatoes that are sure to impress your family and guests.

Ingredients:

12 small to medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or red potatoes work well)
4 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash and dry the potatoes. Place each potato between two wooden spoons or chopsticks. This will prevent you from cutting all the way through. Using a sharp knife, make thin slices across the potato, about 1/8 inch apart, stopping before you reach the bottom. This creates the characteristic Hasselback look.
Season the Potatoes:
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil or melted butter with minced garlic, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Brush the seasoned oil or butter generously over the potatoes, making sure to get some in between the slices.
Bake the Potatoes:
- Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Baste the potatoes with the remaining oil or butter mixture halfway through baking for extra flavor.
Garnish and Serve:
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve hot as a side dish or a main course.

Tips for Perfect Hasselback Potatoes:

Uniform Slices: Use a sharp knife and take your time making the slices. Uniform slices ensure even cooking and a beautiful presentation.
Add Cheese: For an extra indulgent treat, sprinkle grated cheese (such as cheddar or Parmesan) over the potatoes during the last 10 minutes of baking.
Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to experiment with different seasonings and herbs to suit your taste preferences.
