  • Total Time: 60-65 minutes
  • Yield: 4 Hasselback potatoes 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (optional, for color)
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Prepare the potatoes: Place a potato between two chopsticks or wooden spoons (to prevent slicing all the way through) and make thin, even cuts about ⅛-inch apart, stopping just before reaching the bottom. Repeat with all potatoes.
  • Make the garlic butter: In a small bowl, mix melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme.
  • Brush with butter mixture: Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and brush generously with half of the garlic butter mixture, making sure to get some between the slices.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, uncovered.
  • Reapply butter: Remove from the oven and brush the remaining garlic butter over the potatoes, ensuring it seeps into the cuts.
  • Bake for another 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown.
  • Add toppings: If using Parmesan, sprinkle it on top during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with your favorite sauce or sour cream.

Notes

  • Make it extra crispy by increasing the oven temperature to 450°F for the last 5 minutes.
  • Cheesy Variation: Add shredded cheddar or mozzarella for a gooey twist.
  • Herb Swap: Try basil, oregano, or chives for a different flavor profile.
  • Shortcut: If short on time, microwave the potatoes for 5 minutes before baking to speed up cooking.
