Hasselback Potatoes With Parmigiano Reggiano Recipes

EASY HASSELBACK POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Grease a medium-sized casserole dish with cooking spray; set aside.
• Place potatoes on a large plate. Microwave on high power for 10 minutes.
• After microwaving, allow the potatoes to cool for a few minutes before using a large sharp knife to cut fine slits ¾ of the way through the potatoes about ⅛ inch apart.
• Transfer the potatoes to the prepared baking dish.
• In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and olive oil. Add parmesan cheese, garlic paste, half of the chives, salt, and pepper.
• Brush the butter mixture over the potatoes, gently parting the slices to make sure butter gets down in between. Reserve extra butter mixture.
• Bake the potatoes for 10 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the oven and brush with the rest of the butter mixture and bake for an additional 12 to 15 minutes or until they are crispy on the outside and tender inside.
• Remove from the oven and brush the potatoes with the melted butter in the bottom of the dish. Top with remaining chives and Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve immediately.

HASSELBACK POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with foil, then coat the foil with cooking spray.
• Place a potato on a cutting board between two chopsticks. Slice the potato into 1/4 inch thick slices, the chopsticks will prevent you from cutting all the way through.
• Repeat the process with the remaining potatoes. Place the potatoes on the sheet pan.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, butter, salt and pepper.
• Brush the olive oil mixture all over the potatoes, making sure to get some in between the slices.
• Bake for 50-60 minutes until potatoes are tender and browned.
• Remove the potatoes from the oven; let them cool for 5 minutes.
• Insert the cheddar cheese slices in between each cut of the potatoes.
• Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
• Top each potato with a dollop of sour cream, then sprinkle the bacon and green onions over the top. Serve immediately.

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.

CHEESY HASSELBACK POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 400 degrees. Combine cheeses in a large bowl. Transfer 1/3 of cheese mixture to a separate bowl and set aside. Add cream, garlic and thyme to cheese mixture. Season generously with salt and pepper. Add potato slices and toss with your hands until every slice is coated with cream mixture, making sure to separate any slices that are sticking together to get the cream mixture in between them.
• Grease a 2-quart casserole dish with butter. Pick up a handful of potatoes, organizing them into a neat stack, and lay them in the casserole dish with their edges aligned vertically. Continue placing potatoes in the dish, working around the perimeter and into the center until all the potatoes have been added. The potatoes should be very tightly packed. If necessary, slice an additional potato, coat with cream mixture, and add to casserole. Pour the excess cream/cheese mixture evenly over the potatoes until the mixture comes halfway up the sides of the casserole. You may not need all the excess liquid.
• Cover dish tightly with foil and transfer to the oven. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until the top is pale golden brown, about 30 minutes longer. Carefully remove from oven, sprinkle with remaining cheese, and return to oven. Bake until deep golden brown and crisp on top, about 30 minutes longer. Remove from oven, let rest for a few minutes, and serve.
