Description

Crispy, buttery Hasselback potatoes, a Swedish classic. Perfect as a comforting side dish.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 lbs (900 g) medium-sized potatoes
  • 1/2 cups (60 g) breadcrumbs
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary or sage
  • 1 stick (113 g) unsalted organic butter
  • 1 tbsp (15 g) salt flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Prepare the potatoes: Peel, wash, and slice each potato at 1/5 inch (0.5 cm) intervals, leaving the slices connected at the bottom.
  3. Place sliced potatoes on a baking sheet, top with a knob of butter in the sliced gaps, and bake for 25 minutes until softened and slices fan out.
  4. Remove potatoes from oven, and sprinkle with breadcrumbs and salt flakes. Add rosemary or sage, if desired.
  5. Top with another knob of butter in the gaps, and bake for an additional 25-35 minutes, until golden brown and tender. Broil for the last 5 minutes for extra crispiness.
  6. Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and serve.

Notes

  • For perfectly even slices, use a chopstick or similar object to prevent cutting all the way through the potatoes.
  • To speed up cooking time, parboil the potatoes for 10 minutes before baking.
  • Leftover Hasselback potatoes can be reheated in the oven or air fryer for optimal crispness.
