Roasted Hasselback Potatoes With Herb Butter Recipes

HASSELBACK ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and rinse to remove any traces of dirt. Cut into the potatoes into uniform pieces. (This will help in cooking time if they are all similar.) Take a sharp knife and beginning on 1 end, cut about 2/3 through the potato. Repeat the same incision from 1 end of the potato to the other, spacing the cuts uniformly. (The idea is to create the look of a fan, which is why you don't cut all the way through the potato.)
• Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt and cook until just tender. (Do not overcook. The potatoes should remain a little hard, as they will continue to cook during roasting.)
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Drain the potatoes and place them on absorbent toweling to remove excess water. Mix the flour and salt and pepper, to taste, in a bowl and carefully toss with the already blanched potatoes. Place the floured potatoes onto a baking sheet and drizzle with oil. Bake until golden brown, approximately 30 to 40 minutes.
• To finish, scoop the potatoes with a slotted spoon onto absorbent paper toweling and to drain any excess oil. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with the parsley.

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.

FABIENNE'S HASSELBACK POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Thinly slice each potato several times, stopping just short of cutting all the way through.
• Whisk olive oil, garlic, paprika, oregano, and celery salt together in a bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the potatoes, seal the bag, and shake to coat completely. Transfer potatoes to a baking dish and reserve oil mixture in a small bowl. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the potatoes.
• Bake potatoes in the preheated oven until layers start to separate and potatoes are slightly tender, about 30 minutes. Brush potatoes with reserved oil mixture, pulling layers apart if they are sticking together. Continue baking until potatoes are crispy on the edges and easily pierced with knife, 30 to 40 minutes more.

HASSELBACK ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and rinse to remove any traces of dirt. Put a chopstick or pencil along each long side of the potato so you don't cut through to the counter. Using a sharp knife, cut potatoes almost through cross-wise in 1/8" thick slices. Repeat the same incision from one end of the potato to the other, spacing the cuts uniformly. The idea is to create the look of a fan, which is why you don't cut all the way through the potato.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the potatoes into a large saucepot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt and cook until just tender. Do not overcook. The potatoes should remain a little hard, as they will continue to cook during roasting.
• Drain the potatoes and place them on paper towels to remove excess water.
• Mix the flour, garlic, salt and pepper in a bowl and carefully toss with the already blanched potatoes. Place the floured potatoes onto a baking sheet and drizzle with oil. Bake until golden brown, approximately 30 to 40 minutes.
• To finish, scoop the potatoes with a slotted spoon onto paper towels to drain any excess oil. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle parsley.
