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

How to make Hasselback Potatoes
Yield: N/A
Hasselback Potatoes
It's best to use a Maris Piper or King Edward potato for these but any
other variety of floury potato will work.
Prep time: 5 MinCook time: 1 H & 15 MTotal time: 1 H & 20 M
Ingredients
- As many medium-sized potatoes as you want to make.
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200C/400F or Gas 6
- Then, using a sharp knife, carefully make thin slashes width ways almost all the way through each potato, taking care not to cut all the way through!
- Put them in a shallow roasting tin and drizzle with a good amount of olive oil.
- Sprinkle with sea salt and roast for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, until they have opened slightly and are cooked through.
- Scatter over some freshly picked thyme leaves and allow to rest for a few minutes.
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!!
ReplyDeleteI may just make these for dinner tonight - they look amazing.

ReplyDeleteIn this house we call them hasselback potatoes and they are always lovely. Great photo Jan!
When I made these, they were called "accordion" spuds, there's "Hasselback" and your scored taters...love the method.
