Baby Hasselback Potatoes

Baby Hasselback Potatoes

One of the things I love most about food blogging is checking out my fellow bloggers’ sites…I am inspired to no end by you guys!

When I first started blogging (which feels like forever ago) I came across a recipe for hasselback potatoes on Sea Salt with Food. I thought they looked pretty fantastic and jotted the site down on a piece of scrap paper…and thus began my “to-make” list, which is now 12 typed pages long and ever-increasing.

Back when I found the recipe, I showed it to Mike who also thought it looked pretty good (no surprise, really – he’s a huge potato fan. In Syria, one of his favorite street foods is a simple potato sandwich, which is basically fried potato and onion on a bun with mayo and ketchup…it’s so much better than it sounds though).

I really can’t believe I waited so long to make hasselback potatoes, but I admit, they were a bit forgotten for a while…definitely worth the wait though, and perfect as part of my Valentine’s Day meal.

Baby Hasselback Potatoes 2

Recipe adapted from Sea Salt with Food’s recipe for Spiced Mini Hasselback Potatoes.

Baby Hasselback Potatoes
Prep time:  15 mins
Cook time:  30 mins
Total time:  45 mins
Yield: Serves 2 generously
 
Ingredients
  • ¾ lb baby yellow potatoes, scrubbed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425F. To cut the potatoes, place a potato on a wooden stirring spoon; start at one end of the potato and use a large knife to cut until the knife touches the spoon (the curve of the spoon will make sure you don’t cut through the bottom of the potato), cutting at about 3 to 4 mm intervals across the whole potato. Continue until all the potatoes are cut this way.
  2. Gently use your fingers to slightly open the potatoes, and then toss them together with the olive oil, salt, and pepper; let them marinade for 5 to 10 minutes.
  3. Arrange the potatoes on a baking sheet (with the intact-side facing down) and bake until crispy on the outside and tender inside, about 20 to 30 minutes.

    I love this idea, I might have to put these on MY to-make list. I wanted to comment to suggest a better way to organize your to-make list, rather than jotting it all down on paper.

    I use Pinterest for all of the recipes that are on my list of things to try! I have created different boards for desserts, alcoholic recipes and dinner/sides. It’s a great way to keep it all organized because you have the image there and it links directly to the recipe. Consider trying it! I’m sure you’ll LOVE it!

    These hassle back potatoes look like “stand up” baked potato chips. How neat! I think they probably bake more evenly on both sides than when the slices are laying flat on a baking pan. I should give this a try too one day!

    I’ve always wanted to make hasselbacks because (a) they look so ELEGANT and (b)they look so TASTY. Salty crispy outside with a soft creamy inside. Gotta love that.

    I have always wanted to make these because they are so attractive and we love potatoes but I was afraid of them. Look like a lot of work and I am always on the go. So are you and you found time so I should, also.

    Just to let you know, I have a new grandson.

    I absolutely adore the concept of these potatoes, but have never made them myself because it seems so fussy. I can imagine the crispy textures and many layers of potato goodness are incredible though… You’re seriously tempting me to stop being so lazy about this preparation! ;)

    You had me with the pic – then the recipe turns out to be so easy. And the name – what a hoot. (Any idea what the name means or who it’s named after?) My guy loves potatoes too, so I’ll have to try these.

      Laura, It’s funny you ask that; actually, I have absolutely no idea where the name comes from! I googled it and someone commented on an article on hasselback potatoes from the Huffington Post saying that they’re named after a restaurant in Stockholm — I’m not sure whether it’s true though!

    Your menu looks lovely!

This really isn't the prettiest dish. 🙈 But it' This really isn't the prettiest dish. 🙈 But it's nourishing and uncomplicated, mostly cabbage and ground beef and a few other veggies along with a couple spices. It's #paleo and easy to make #lowcarb and #ketofriendly. And it doesn't need a lot of time; just 10 minutes of prep time and 20 minutes to cook. The best part is, it's so much more delicious than you might think! What it lacks in looks, it definitely makes up for in other ways. 🥰 Find my Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls recipe on @anediblemosaic --> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/unstuffed-cabbage-rolls-recipe/

These are supposed to be French Crullers, but as y These are supposed to be French Crullers, but as you can see they look nothing like they're supposed to! 🙈😁 I'd call the recipe a flop in that sense, except for 2 things: 1) they still taste great (swipe through to the last photo showing their pillow-y interior), and 2) I made them on a Zoom call together with my dear friend Evelyene (@cultureatz). Eve and I virtually met around the time we both started blogging (she lives in Montreal), which was over a decade ago (it's crazy to think how fast time flies!).

When we first met in real life last year before the pandemic hit, it was an instant connection. It was lots of laughs, local exploration, good food, great conversation, and she even brought me bagels from her hometown! She's a kindred soul. 🥰❤️ Since then we've stayed connected and have spent a few afternoons cooking together. We've made Russian dumplings called Pelmeni and we had a holiday cake-off where I made a Gingerbread Roll Cake and Eve made a Pumpkin Roll Cake.

She and I used the same recipe for French Crullers and it didn't work as expected for either of us (just wait until you see how Evelyne's turned out, they're completely different from mine!), but still I'd call it a success.

I think this delicious disaster deserves to be commemorated, so I wanted to style and photograph them. Even though the prop styling is minimal, it's an eclectic grouping:

1) Background: Scrap marble at a floor tile store in Jacksonville, Florida. The lady was awesome, she told me to look around and take any scrap tile I could use.
2) Cake stand (swipe through to see it better): I got this at my favorite ceramics store in Paris, France called @astierdevillatte in May 2015.
3) Espresso cups: Seller @madhouseceramics on @etsy.
4) Small spoons: Seller Ann Cutting from ceramicpix on @etsy.
5) Espresso: My favorite espresso @lavazzausa.
