Description
This Hasselback Potatoes recipe delivers crispy golden edges and buttery soft centers, perfect as a dinner side or holiday table centerpiece. Using simple ingredients like garlic, butter, and herbs, these roasted potatoes are elegant yet easy to prepare. Ideal for fans of baked, roasted, or cheesy potato dishes.
Ingredients
4 medium Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons melted butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme or rosemary, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
1. Scrub the potatoes clean and place each between two wooden spoons. Slice thinly, about 1/8 inch apart, without cutting all the way through.
2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter with olive oil and garlic. Let it gently simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, then stir in the fresh herbs and remove from heat.
3. Place the sliced potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Brush generously with the garlic herb butter mixture, ensuring it gets between slices.
4. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
5. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 45 to 55 minutes. Brush with more butter halfway through for extra crispiness.
6. If using Parmesan, sprinkle it over the tops during the last 10 minutes of baking.
7. Serve immediately, garnished with more herbs or a dollop of sour cream if desired.
Notes
Make sure to slice the potatoes evenly and thinly for best results.
Don’t skip brushing between the slices; that’s where the flavor builds.
Try using sweet potatoes for a sweeter variation or add smoked paprika for depth.
