Mini Hasselback Potatoes

A perfect side for a special meal, these mini Hasselback potatoes are easy to make and present beautifully next to a steak dinner.  Serve these for Valentine’s Day to impress your date, partner, spouse or family!  

Steak and potatoes are a classic combination, but you can also serve these alongside salmon, roasted chicken, or any protein you’d like.  They take just over an hour to prepare so you’ll need to plan ahead to slice and bake the potatoes. 

Crisp edges and creamy centers are the key features of these Hasselback potatoes.  To get the slices just perfect, you’ll want to use a pair of chopsticks to stop the knife from going all the way through.  The thinner you slice the potatoes, the crispier they get. 

Hand select your potatoes from the produce department rather than buy a bag where you’ll get potatoes of all shapes and sizes.   Select potatoes that are all the same size so that they cook evenly and present beautifully when serving.

How to Make Mini Hasselback Potatoes

Preheat the oven to 425° F. 

Wash and scrub the potatoes clean. 

Slice the potatoes almost all the way through, leaving 1/4″ at the bottom so that the potatoes stay attached.  It helps to set the potatoes between two chopsticks so that the knife stops at the top of the chopsticks. 

Place the sliced potatoes on a baking sheet.  Brush the potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil and place them into the oven.  Bake for 50 – 55 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the tops are slightly crisp. 

While the potatoes are baking, chop all the fresh herbs and garlic and place them into a small bowl.   Just before the potatoes finish baking, combine the fresh herbs and garlic with melted butter, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and the parmesan cheese, if using.  Stir to combine. 

Remove the potatoes from the oven and place them into an oven-proof serving dish.  Brush the garlic herb butter mixture over the potatoes, getting it in between the slices.  You can also use a small spoon to get the mixture between the layers. 

Place the potatoes back into the oven for 10 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and soft and the potatoes are crispy on the top. 

Enjoy.
