Description
Crispy Hasselback Potatoes are a crowd-pleasing side dish featuring perfectly crispy edges and a tender center, enhanced by a buttery garlic flavor.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold) (Try to pick similar sizes for even cooking.)
- 2-3 tablespoons melted butter (Can substitute with olive oil or plant-based butter for dairy-free.)
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil (Helps with browning.)
- 2-3 cloves garlic (Minced or grated.)
- Salt and black pepper (To taste.)
Optional Seasonings
- Paprika (For added flavor and color.)
- Dried rosemary, thyme, Italian seasoning (Choose any combination of your favorite herbs.)
- Parmesan, chives, sour cream, flaky salt (For finishing touches.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment.
- Scrub the potatoes well and pat them dry.
Slicing
- Place a potato between two chopsticks and cut thin slices across, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch apart. Repeat with the rest of the potatoes.
Baking
- Set the potatoes on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 20 minutes.
- Mix melted butter with minced garlic and any desired dried herbs. Brush this mixture over the potatoes, nudging it into the slices.
- Bake for another 25 to 40 minutes, depending on potato size, until the edges are golden and the centers are tender when poked with a knife.
Notes
Let the potatoes rest for 5 minutes before serving. For alternative cooking, see air fryer instructions provided in the article. Proper slicing technique helps prevent cutting through the potatoes.
