What are Hasselback Potatoes?
Hasselback potatoes are baked potatoes sliced thinly, keeping the bottom intact so the potato fans out and the edges become crisp while baking. They make an excellent side dish and are the perfect vehicle for toppings like flavored butters and sour cream. They are called Hasselback Potatoes because of the Swedish restaurant, Hasselbacken in Stockholm, where they were created in 1953.
How to cut Hasselback potatoes
Place medium sized potatoes on a chopping board in front of you. Using a very sharp knife, carefully make thin slices into the potato, taking care not to cut all the way through. A good tip is to use two chopsticks or wooden spoons on either side of the potato to prevent the knife from cutting all the way through the potato.
