More About This Recipe

  • Have you ever had a Hasselback potato? Because up until a few days ago, I never had and man, do I regret it. Hasselback potatoes make a great game-day meal, or an amazing side to a special dinner. I mean really, these are the perfect potatoes. They're thinly sliced, but not all the way through, so the potato keeps it shape. Then they're baked to a golden perfection, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. The Hasselback potatoes I'm showing you today are not your ordinary ones. These guys are loaded, which means they are perfect for just about anything. From an easy side on a cold winter’s day to the ultimate game-day food – yup, you can load them any way you like and serve 'em up. Go simple with some bacon, Greek yogurt or sour cream and green onions. Or go big and add on some pickled jalapeños, guacamole, blue cheese and buffalo sauce. Either way is pretty awesome, so let’s get to making 'em, already! Pro-tip: While baking the potatoes, I like to baste with a little more butter halfway through cooking. A fun way to serve is to gather up all your toppings and create a little topping bar. This is especially fun for a game day party! Top with Greek yogurt (my personal favorite) or sour cream and some sliced green onions. Or go all out and truly load these taters up with whatever your heart desires! My favorite is buffalo sauce – so delicious!
