Today I love….Hasselback Potatoes

20 Jul

My grandfather taught me to make these….a very long time ago….and I love, love, love them!!!

They are of Swedish origin and yes, they do take a little longer to chop up than normal roast spuds but the upside of this is that the potato does cook quicker and you will end up with beautifully crunchy roast spuds EVERY time – guaranteed!!!

Ingredients:

  • Potatoes
  • Olive Oil
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Nutmeg/Garlic if you’re feelin’ fancy!!!

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C.
  2. Chop your potatoes in half length-ways so they are as long as possible. Place one half of a potato, cut side down on a board and make thin, evenly spaced cuts at 5mm intervals, about two-thirds of the way through.
  3. Place in a bowl. Repeat with remaining potatoes.
  4. Add oil and seasonings as you wish to potatoes. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
  5. Place in a roasting pan. Bake in oven, turning occasionally, for less than 1 hour or until golden brown and crisp. Transfer to a serving bowl to serve.
