Hasselback Potatoes

A delicious and visually appealing way to prepare potatoes, Hasselback potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

  • Total Time: 75 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes, washed and patted dry
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, divided
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Arrange a rack in the middle position of the oven and preheat to 425°F. Set aside an unlined baking sheet.
  2. Position one potato in between two chopsticks or skewers to prevent cutting too deep.
  3. Cut vertical slits (⅛ inch apart) in the potatoes, ensuring the bottom remains intact to create the decorative look.
  4. Repeat the cutting process for the remaining potatoes.
  5. Place the potatoes on the unlined baking dish.
  6. Use a basting brush to coat about half of the melted butter all over the potatoes, including the insides of the slits.
  7. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper to your liking.
  8. Bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, gently pull the layers apart to open the slits using a knife.
  9. Brush on the remaining melted butter onto the potatoes.
  10. Bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
  11. Serve warm, adding more salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

Hasselback potatoes can be customized with various toppings like cheese, herbs, or sour cream for added flavor.
