The first time I saw hasselback potatoes, I was so amazed by how pretty they looked. I thought, what a simple and creative way to enjoy potatoes. This recipe can be enjoyed as a side or appetizer. I left them in the oven for over an hour because I prefer a lot of crunch with my potatoes (I almost thought I was having potato chips!) If you want them more tender, an hour should be just fine.
We’re starting this recipe by cutting a ⅛” slice from the bottom of each potato, enough so that they can stand firmly on their own. Next, you’ll create thin ⅛” slice through each potato, without cutting through the potato. Place the potatoes in a baking dish and stuff with garlic and rosemary. Then bake the potatoes at 460F for about 60-80 minutes. Finish these beauties off by adding some grated cheese, salt, and pepper.
Potatoes often get a bad rap; however, they have some major benefits. They are a rich source of potassium and vitamin C. With the skin on, they also provide a healthy dose of fiber.

- 1 tablespoon of olive oil

-
Place the potatoes in a baking dish, and drizzle olive oil.

Perfect! I wanted a twist on red potatoes this Thanksgiving. My guests were quite impressed. And I didn’t have to hunt for the recipe! I made 16. Thankfully, I remembered to allow a lot of extra time to stuff so many potatoes. Keep the creativity coming!
