Delicious Vegan Hassleback Potatoes
What are hasselback potatoes? Hasselback potatoes are a type of baked potato that’s sliced thinly across the top. In other words, these thin cuts are almost all the way through but not quite—so the slices stay connected at the bottom. As they bake, the layers fan out a bit, getting crispy on the edges and tender inside. They’re named after the Hasselbacken restaurant in Stockholm, Sweden, where they were first served. They’re like a cross between a baked potato and potato chips—super satisfying and great as a side dish or even the main event with the right toppings.
Ingredients:
- Idaho Baking Potatoes (russet potatoes are my favorite but Yukon gold potatoes work well too)
- Roasted garlic
- Olive oil
- Rosemary
- Salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
How To Make Hassleback Potatoes:
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
How to cut hasselback potatoes: With a sharp knife, slice each Russet potato into thin slices without going all the way down to the cutting board. Do not cut all the way through, but far enough so the potato slices will fan out.
Place on a baking pan or aluminum foil lined baking dish.
Mix the roasted garlic with the olive oil. Or if you want to make it easier use a roasted garlic olive oil. Pour this all over the potatoes and make sure it gets between the slices.
Grab your rosemary and put it on top of the potatoes and in between the slices. I love rosemary so I went a little crazy! This hasselback potatoes recipe is great with your favorite fresh herbs too like dill or thyme.
Hopefully your oven is preheated. Throw those guys in there for roughly 45 minutes. The sliced potatoes should start to turn golden brown and be tender and crispy all at the same time!
If you are not vegan, you can add some blu cheese crumbles on top of the hassleback potatoes and put them back in the oven for 5 for minutes.
Now, enjoy your tasty sliced baked potato! You will wonder why you never made tried a hasselback potato recipe before. They are so good!
Potato Hack: If you are in a hurry, you can save time by microwaving your potatoes before you slice and bake! If you microwave for about four minutes on each side and then you can reduce your baking time to about 20 minutes.
