Hasselback potatoes are thinly sliced and roasted to create crispy edges and a tender interior, with buttery seasoning in every slice. An elegant and flavorful side dish that’s easy to make and endlessly customizable.

Ingredients

  • 4 medium to large russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. Wash and dry potatoes, leaving the skin on.
  3. Place each potato between two wooden spoons or chopsticks and slice thinly across, stopping before the bottom to keep the base intact.
  4. Gently fan out the slices to open them slightly.
  5. Brush potatoes generously with olive oil or melted butter, getting between the slices.
  6. Season with salt, pepper, and minced garlic if using.
  7. Bake for 45–60 minutes, basting with more butter or oil halfway through, until golden and crispy outside and tender inside.
  8. In the last 10 minutes of baking, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs if desired.
  9. Remove from oven and serve hot as a side or centerpiece dish.

Notes

  • Use chopsticks or wooden spoons to prevent slicing all the way through the potatoes.
  • Basting with butter or oil during baking enhances crispiness.
  • Customize with cheese, bacon, sour cream, or fresh herbs.
  • Best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven for crispiness.
