Key Ingredients
Potatoes: This calls for Yukon Gold potatoes but you can use russet potatoes, baby potatoes, or even red potatoes.
Butter melted: I use unsalted butter. Vegan butter and olive oil are great substitutes as well. Herb butter and Garlic butter are other good options.
Salt and pepper: Add them both to taste.
Spices: You can use fresh herbs like rosemary and garlic cloves, or you could use spices like ½ a teaspoon of garlic powder and ½ a teaspoon of Italian seasoning.
Step-By-Step Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F.
Wash your potatoes thoroughly and then place one between two wooden chopsticks or wooden spoons. The chopsticks will keep you from slicing the potato all the way through while you cut them into thin slices.
Using a sharp knife like a kitchen or paring knife, slice the potato into slices that are ¼ inch thick. This can be done on a cutting board. Do the same for the rest of the potatoes and then place the sliced potatoes on a sheet pan.
In a small bowl, place butter and microwave it for 15 seconds or until it melts. Whisk in your minced rosemary, garlic, and parsley.
Brush the butter mixture all over the outside of the potatoes as well as in between the potato slices. Be careful not to break the potatoes while doing this.
Bake the potatoes for 50-60 minutes or until they turn brown and tender.
Remove the golden brown baked potatoes from the oven and brush butter over them before serving them.
Recipe Tips and Tricks
If you like, you can totally cut thick slices. Thin cuts tend to result in crispy edges, which is why this recipe recommends that you cut ¼-inch slices.
Storage and Reheating Instructions
The best way I have found to store these roast potatoes is by placing them in an airtight container or freezer bag. They can last in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Substitution and Addition Ideas
This recipe also works with sweet potatoes as well.
Recipe FAQs
What can I top these potatoes with?
Some of our favorite toppings for these crispy potatoes are cheese, a dollop of sour
cream, bacon bits, and sliced green onions.
Can I use a casserole dish instead of a baking pan?
Yes, you can use a casserole dish instead of a baking pan. You can even use a rimmed
baking sheet. I also recommend that you line the bottom of the pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper. This will make cleanup easy and keep the melted butter from sticking to the dish or pan.
How do I keep from slicing through the potato?
Placing a pair of chopsticks on both sides of the potatoes will keep you from slicing
through the potato.
Why are they called Hasselback potatoes?
Hasselback potatoes got their name from Hasselbacken which is the restaurant in
Stockholm, Sweden, that introduced this way of cooking them.
