Hasselback Potatoes Recipe
Are hasselback potatoes worth the hassle? (No pun intended). Find out for yourself, with this simple and cheap baked potato recipe.
This post is more of an idea for making potatoes instead of a bona fide recipe. I have seen this idea for baking potatoes on several other recipes sites and thought I would give it a try.
The benefits of making a baked potato this way include:
- Faster cooking: This technique allows the potato to cook faster than a traditional baked potato
- More flavor: Baking potatoes this way allows you to infuse the potato with flavors from the inside out.
It’s an alternative way to bake a potato.
I put a few garlic slices and olive oil in between the layers of the potato in the photo above, but you can experiment with other spices, fresh herbs, cheese, or even flavored butter.
Potatoes are the ultimate cheap food. They are versatile, nourishing, and filling. The next time you’re making baked potatoes to accompany a main course, give these a try!
