Garlic Butter Hasselback Potatoes Recipes

GARLIC BUTTER HASSELBACK POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Wash and scrub the potatoes. Slice the potatoes thinly leaving a half an inch base at the bottom.* Salt and pepper the potatoes.
• In a small bowl combine melted butter, parsley, thyme, rosemary and garlic. Place the potatoes in a 9x13 inch backing dish. Brush the garlic herb butter along the tops of the potatoes.
• Roast the potatoes for 40-60 minutes or until fork tender.

GARLIC HASSELBACK POTATOES WITH HERBED SOUR CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Using a wooden spoon as a cradle, place each potato in the spoon and make several parallel slits into each potato top making sure not to slice completely through. Place 3 garlic slices between slits at the crown of each potato. Toss in a medium bowl with butter and olive oil. Place on a baking sheet and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Bake until tops are crispy and potatoes are cooked through, about 1 hour. Transfer to a platter and top with Herbed Sour Cream.
• Combine ingredients in a small bowl. Season, to taste, and refrigerate until use.

HASSELBACK POTATOES WITH GARLIC-PAPRIKA OIL

Steps:

• Place whole unpeeled potatoes in a pot. Cover with cold water by at least 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat. As soon as water boils, set a timer and cook potatoes for 10 minutes. Drain, cover with cold water, and let cool to room temperature. (This can be done up to 1 day ahead. Do not refrigerate.)
• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Combine oil, garlic and paprika in a bowl or measuring cup. Have a pastry brush ready.
• Place a potato on a large spoon. Use a sharp knife to make 1/8-inch-thick slices in the potato, crosswise, without cutting through the bottom, so potato remains intact. The sides of the spoon will prevent the blade from going too far down. (Or, rest potato on counter and line up a chopstick on each side to block the knife.) Don't worry if the potato skin starts to shred; it will look fine after baking. Repeat with remaining potatoes.
• Place potatoes on a piece of foil and brush generously with the paprika oil, using fingers to separate slices and let oil drip down. Sprinkle with salt, making sure that it gets between the slices.
• Place on a baking sheet and bake 20 minutes. Remove from oven and brush again with oil. Use oven mitts to gently squeeze potato and open up the slices. Sprinkle again with salt. Bake 10 to 20 minutes more, until potatoes are cooked through. Serve whole or half potatoes.

ROSEMARY-GARLIC HASSELBACK POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, stir together butter, oil, chopped rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper.
• Add potato slices to butter mixture; toss to thoroughly coat slices. Pick up potatoes by the handful, and place slices 1 on top of another, forming a small stack. Place potato stack on its side in ungreased 8-inch square (2-quart) baking dish. Continue making small stacks with remaining potatoes and arranging them side-by-side in dish to form 3 rows of tightly packed stacked slices. Scrape bowl for any remaining butter mixture, and spread over potatoes.
• Bake 1 hour. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake 15 to 20 minutes longer or until potatoes are fork-tender and golden brown on top. Garnish with sprigs of fresh rosemary. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
