Easy Crispy Hasselback Potatoes are a great potato side. Drizzled with oil, seasoned, and into the oven till the slices begin to separate and change colour. Out of the oven then slathered in butter and buttery panko crumbs, then another bout in the oven to finish crisping. We love to bake these with whole knobs of garlic to smear over the potato leaves. Delish!
Roasting Garlic
Roasting whole knobs of garlic makes the garlic rich and velvety. The flavour is sweet and mellow, not sharp and pungent as it is when raw. Simply break the knobs up into cloves when roasted and smear a little on each slice of your hasselback potato.
Our friend Carol grows magnificent organic garlic which is what we have used here. None of this garlic that is bleached white for us thanks!
Potatoes
We used large, unpeeled, even sized washed potatoes for our dish which weighed around 190 g (7 ounces) each. You can of course use smaller potatoes and simply adjust the cooking time.
The spoon trick
The trick to making your hasselback into accordion like even slices is to sit your potato on a large kitchen spoon. The sides of the spoon stops you slicing all the way through and gives an even depth for the cut of easy crispy hasselback potatoes.
Butter always makes it better
We begin roasting these potatoes with oil and season them. After an hour of roasting you remove them from the oven and liberally brush with butter which turns them golden brown. To finish, you toss some melted butter through some panko breadcrumbs and sprinkle the potatoes with them. They turn all golden and crunchy and really bring a lot to the potato party.
