Cheesy Hasselback Potatoes Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4 medium-sized russet or Yukon gold potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet or baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
- Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a towel.
- Place one potato on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, make thin slices across the potato, about 1/8-inch apart. Be careful not to slice all the way through; you want to keep the base of the potato intact. A good tip is to place wooden spoons or chopsticks on either side of the potato to prevent cutting all the way through.
- Season the Potatoes:
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Carefully fan out the slices of each potato and brush the butter mixture generously over and between the slices.
- Bake the Potatoes:
- Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet or dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the edges are crispy and golden.
- Add the Cheese:
- Remove the potatoes from the oven. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese evenly over the tops of the potatoes, making sure some of the cheese falls into the crevices.
- Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top as well.
- Bake Again:
- Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
- Serve the Hasselback potatoes hot as a side dish or even as a main course.
These Cheesy Hasselback Potatoes are a delicious, visually impressive dish that is perfect for any occasion. They combine the crispiness of roasted potatoes with the richness of melted cheese, making them a crowd-pleaser.
