I adore recipes that are easy to make but look difficult. This is one of those recipes. Hasselback Potatoes originated at the Hasselbacken restaurant in Stockholm, Sweeden. I have seen many recipes for these potatoes flying around Facebook and Pinterest for the last 6 months and I finally decided to create one of my own easy recipes for this type of potato.

After looking at several different recipes there were 2 ingredients that varied. The cheese inside the potato-I’ve seen anything from Parmesan to Cheddar and the topping. Toppings have varied from bread crumbs to more cheese and even heavy cream. For my initial try I used Parmesan inside and Cheddar for the topping.

Ingredients

2 large Russet potatoes
2 Tbs Butter
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
2 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Coarse Sea Salt to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Scrub the potatoes.
Place a potato between 2 wooden spoons to keep you from slicing through the potato.Slice the potatoes 3/4 of the way through (to the spoon handles).
Run water between the slices in the potatoes to remove excess starch and allow for better fanning.
Pat the potatoes dry.
Slice the butter and the Parmesan cheese into thin slices.
Alternate butter and Parmesan, stuffing them in between the potato slices.
Season the potato with coarse sea salt.
Drizzle the potato with olive oil.
Bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes.
Remove potatoes from the oven and top with shredded cheddar cheese.
Place back in the oven for 10-12 more minutes.
Remove and serve.

I made this recipe one night when just my husband and I were home. We enjoyed the Hasselback Potatoes with a nice t-bone steak and some corn. We both enjoyed our potatoes, I topped mine off with sour cream. Next time I hope to try this with my favorite Boar’s Head Chipotle Gouda cheese for a bit of a kick.
