Hasselback Potatoes



Ok, so for the first post to start things off nice and easy I made a side dish that is simple and delicious! These potatoes only take about 45 minutes to make and have any number of variations on how they are made. I did a garlic and butter potato with mozzerela cheese and fresh parsley on top.

Ingredients:
  1. Any type of potato ( I made four)
  2. Garlic or Garlic Powder
  3. Butter
  4. Olive Oil
  5. Seasonings (Salt, Pepper, Italian Seasonings...)
Steps:
  • First, wash your potatoes and cut thin slices into the top half of the potato about 1/8 inch apart down the length of the potato
  • Next, take your olive oil and spread each slice so that a little gets into each cut
  • Next, cover the top of the potato in butter, trying to force some into the cuts
  • If using real garlic, cut into slices and put a piece of garlic into each cut
  • Then season top of potato (I used salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning)
  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees and place the potatoes in the oven
  • They should cook about 30-45 minutes until crisp
  • I covered mine with Mozzarella cheese at about the 30 minute mark and garnished them with a little fresh parsley when cheese was fully melted and the potatoes were ready to serve.

In conclusion they look amazing and they taste delicious, but this is only the beginning... good luck Abby its gonna be a battle!
