Our recipe is loaded with a bunch of our favourite flavours and toppings. Bacon, green onions, cheese, onions, ranch and butter – does it get any better?
But what exactly are hasselback potatoes? A Hasselback potato is basically just a baked potato, except it’s cut into very thin slices about 1/4″ from the bottom so that the potato still stays intact. They seem complicated, but their actually fairly simple – and we have an awesome hack to make them even easier. The moment you cut through the entire potato, it’s no longer a hasselback potato. In order to ensure that you’re making deep cuts without going through the entire thing, place two wooden spoon handles on either side of the potato. With a sharp knife, cut through the potato until you reach the wood spoons and no more, repeat across their entire potato. For the best sized cuts, we recommend no more than 1/4″ slices.
