Hasselbackspotatis — Print Recipe

Whole potatoes sliced into thin fans that crisp open like an accordion in the oven, basted with butter and scattered with breadcrumbs and cheese.

Ingredients

1 Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Place each potato between two chopsticks and slice thin cuts 3mm apart, stopping at the chopsticks so cuts go three-quarters through.
2 Place potatoes in a buttered baking dish, fans facing up.
3 Brush generously with melted butter and season with salt.
4 Bake 30 min, basting with butter halfway through as slices fan open.
5 Sprinkle breadcrumbs and grated cheese between the fans.
6 Bake 15 min more until golden, crispy on edges, and tender inside.
