How to make Hasselback Potatoes
I spied this fancy way of doing potatoes on the TV a while ago and only got round to making them the other day.
Crispy, crunchy and so easy to make they are also known as scored potatoes and they're a great alternative to fries or a regular baked or jacket potato.
They look fancier too but if you like the look of these then you may well like

You can also put your potatoes in a dessert spoon and then cut until your knife hits the edge of the spoon, that way you will never cut through the potato by mistake!! I love the thyme and sea salt that you have added!!

When I made these, they were called "accordion" spuds, there's "Hasselback" and your scored taters...love the method.
