Hasselback New Potatoes With Oregano Recipes

HASSELBACK NEW POTATOES WITH OREGANO

Steps:

• First, prep the potatoes. Put them, one at a time, onto a wooden spoon and, starting at one end, cut across their width at 3mm intervals with a chef's knife - the spoon will stop you from cutting all the way through the potato.
• Once all the potatoes are prepped, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the butter and oil in a roasting tin over a medium heat to melt the butter. Tip in the potatoes, season, and scatter over the oregano. Give the potatoes a good toss so they're coated, then roast on the bottom shelf of the oven for 45 mins-1 hr until golden and tender.

HASSELBACK POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Stir together the butter, olive oil, chives and some salt and pepper in a small bowl.
• Place a potato between the handles of 2 wooden spoons or 2 chopsticks. Slice the potato into thin slices, leaving 1/4 inch at the bottom unsliced; the spoon handles will prevent you from slicing the potato all the way through. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
• Put the potatoes on a baking sheet and brush on the butter mixture, making sure to get in between all the slices. Bake until tender and crisp, 55 to 60 minutes.

CAPRESE HASSELBACK POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Set potatoes on a cutting board. Starting from one end, cut slices that are roughly 1/4-inch thick into each potato, stopping about 1/2-inch from the bottom to keep potato slices connected. Transfer prepared potatoes to a baking sheet.
• Stir together olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Brush olive oil mixture onto the potatoes using a basting brush, making sure to coat the outer sides and in between the slices. Season liberally with sea salt. Set aside remaining oil mixture.
• Bake potatoes in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush once again with remaining oil. By now the potatoes will have opened a bit, allowing for more oil to slip between the slices. Sprinkle a little more sea salt onto each potato, making sure to sprinkle salt in the slices.
• Return to the oven and bake until potatoes are cooked through, 25 to 30 more minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Leave oven on.
• Leave a few potato slices unstuffed on both ends of each potato, starting somewhere about 1/4 of the way through the potato. Start by slipping a tomato slice in between your first 2 slices of potato, skip 2 slices, and stuff the next slice with mozzarella cheese and a fresh basil leaf. Skip 2 more, add a tomato slice, and continue alternating tomato and mozzarella cheese/basil leaf until you reach the other end of the potato. Continue until all potatoes have been stuffed. Season each potato with sea salt and cracked pepper.
• Return potatoes to the oven and bake until mozzarella has melted, about 5 minutes.
• Drizzle with balsamic glaze, sprinkle with grated Grana Padano cheese, and garnish with fresh basil.

ROASTED BABY HASSELBACK POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place 2 chopsticks on a cutting board with a potato lengthwise between the chopsticks. Slice the potato into 1/8-inch slices along its length, using the chopsticks as a guide so you don't cut all the way through. Repeat to cut remaining potatoes.
• Insert 1 bay leaf inside each sliced potato.
• Heat olive oil and butter in a roasting pan over medium heat. Add potatoes and garlic in a single layer and season generously with salt and pepper. Move potatoes around until coated all over and cook until browned a bit, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Transfer the roasting pan to the preheated oven and roast until potatoes are crisp and golden, about 30 minutes.

BASIC HASSELBACK IDAHO® POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Prepare a bowl of cold water with a squeeze of lemon juice in it. Slice off the bottom of each Idaho® Russet Potato lengthwise to make them steadier for cutting. Place potato between two chopsticks. Cut slits 1/4 apart using the chopsticks as a guide to keep from cutting all the way through. The slices should stay connected at the bottom. Carefully fan out the sliced pieces without breaking them apart. Place the cut potato in the prepared bowl of water while you cut the remaining potatoes.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add a couple of sprigs of rosemary, the sliced garlic, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Let sit a few minutes to season the butter.
• Remove potatoes from water and dry thoroughly. Place on a baking sheet. Brush potatoes with some of the melted butter and bake for 1 hour. Halfway through cooking, the potatoes will start to fan out. When this happens, brush with some more of the melted butter.
• Remove from the oven. Brush with remaining butter, sprinkle with salt, and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve right away.
