Sliced Baked Potatoes (also known as Hasselback potatoes) are a simple yet elegant dish—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and perfect as a side or appetizer. Here’s an easy recipe:
🥔 Sliced Baked Potatoes (Hasselback Style)
Ingredients:
-
4 medium russet or Yukon gold potatoes
-
3 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (or both)
-
2–3 garlic cloves, minced (optional)
-
Salt and black pepper to taste
-
Fresh or dried herbs: rosemary, thyme, or parsley
-
Optional toppings: shredded cheese, bacon bits, sour cream, chives, or Parmesan
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
Slice the potatoes:
-
Place a potato on a cutting board between two chopsticks or wooden spoons.
-
Carefully slice the potato into thin slits (about 1/8–1/4 inch apart), stopping when the knife hits the chopsticks—this keeps the base intact.

Season:
-
Mix olive oil or melted butter with garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper.
-
Brush generously over and between the slices.

-
Bake:
-
Place potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
-
Bake for 45–60 minutes, basting with more oil/butter halfway through.

The edges should crisp up, and the insides should be tender.

Optional finish:
-
Add shredded cheese or Parmesan in the last 10 minutes of baking.
-
Top with bacon, chives, or a dollop of sour cream before serving.
