Hasselback potatoes are potatoes that have been sliced into thin wedges but left attached at the bottom, concertina-like. They are then seasoned and baked or roasted. Halfway through cooking, once the slices have bloomed open a little, olive or coconut oil can be slathered on. The result is delicious baked potatoes that have all that yummy extra crispiness. They look pretty funky, too.
The name Hasselback is said to come from the Swedish restaurant from whence they originated—Restaurant Hasselbacken! Well, thank you, Sweden. These potatoes work wonderfully as a side or can be enjoyed as the central part of your meal, piled with other goodies.
They are more versatile than you’d think, and these OGP recipes show you just that.
