No matter the season or reason potatoes always make a great side dish. They complement also every main course.

Hasselback potatoes are crispy potatoes with thin slices made the length of the entire potato. They originate from Sweden. The name Hasselback comes from a restaurant in Stockholm, Sweden, named Hasselbacken, where the recipe for Hasselback potatoes is believed to have been served as early as the 1700s.

By slicing the potatoes this way, not only does it add texture and increase crispiness, but it allows all the flavors and seasonings to be incorporated better. These Swedish potatoes are typically served as a side dish, but can also be served as an appetizer.

Best Hasselback Potato Slicer

There are many ways to prepare a potato. But somehow, after rotating through mashed, smashed, fried, and baked, my potato sides were becoming a little predictable.

My kids even started to grow tired. My new idea – Hasselback potatoes. When I would order these in restaurants they came across as a little too fancy for me to make at home. That all changed when I purchased this tool.

I tried doing it with a pair of chopsticks and my trusty knife, but the setup wasn’t working for me. And for this slicer was right up my price alley. Bonus, it cleans up really good.

• 30 small new potatoes
• ½ cup salted butter, melted
• 2 teaspoons freshly minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley

The best types of mini potatoes: include baby red potatoes, fingerling potatoes, Yukon golds, baby sweet potatoes, and baby russets. All of these types will work well with this recipe.

How to Make These Baked Hasselback Potatoes

Preparing the potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Then wash and dry all potatoes thoroughly.

Next, cut slits two-thirds of the way into each potato around ¼ inch apart. You can use skewers or a wooden spoon handle to help keep the knife from slicing all the way through the potatoes or my new favorite slicing tool.

Time to season the potatoes. Stir together the butter, garlic, and parsley.

Then transfer the mini-sliced potatoes onto the baking sheet. Brush the sliced tops with the garlic butter mixture. Season with salt and pepper.

Cooking your hasselback potatoes: Bake potatoes for 20 minutes, then remove potatoes from the oven and baste again with garlic butter.

Continue to bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until the potatoes are cooked through. Remove potatoes from the oven and baste again before serving. The potatoes will be ready when they look crispy and brown on top with tender middles.

How to Store Your Potatoes After They Have Been Cooked

Before placing your potatoes in the refrigerator for storage, make sure they have cooled down to room temperature first. Then place them in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Reheat in the oven for ten to fifteen minutes at 350 degrees. After cooking, your Hasselback Potatoes can be frozen for up to three months. To reheat, allow potatoes to thaw thoroughly, then bake in the oven for twenty to thirty minutes at 350 degrees.
