    🔪 How to make Hasselback potatoes

    The recipe card with ingredient quantities and detailed instructions can be found at the bottom of the post

    One: Wash, scrub and dry the potatoes then place each one on a wooden spoon and use a sharp knife to cut slices at 3mm intervals. The slightly raised edges of the wooden spoon will stop the knife going all the way through.

    Two: Place the potatoes in a baking tray or roasting tray and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.

    Three: Bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

    You can even serve them as an appetizer with a garlic and herb dip!

    • Make spicy hasselback potatoes and sprinkle over dried chilli flakes at the end of cooking.

    ❓ Frequently asked questions

    Why are they called hasselback potatoes?

    The name Hasselback comes from a restaurant in Stockholm, Sweden, called Hasselbacken, where the recipe for Hasselback potatoes was first created in the 1950s.

    What is the hasselback technique?

    Hasselbacking is where potatoes are sliced not-quite-all-the-way through in thin, even layers. It's a great way of creating more surface area for flavors and creating additional crispy texture.
