Hasselback Potatoes with garlic and herb butter
SERVES: 6
​
COOK TIME: 1 hour
Ingredients:
​
-
6 Medium Baking Potatoes (6-8 oz. each)​
-
1 stick of unsalted butter
-
1/4 cup olive oil
-
1 small shallot, chopped
-
4 large garlic cloves, sliced
-
2 springs rosemary, reserve a little for garnish
-
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
​
-
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
-
In a small sauce pan over medium-low heat melt the butter with the olive oil, shallot, garlic and rosemary. Set aside.
-
Peel the Potatoes and place them in a bowl of cold water, to prevent them from turning brown.
-
Slice a very thin layer off the bottom of each Potato so that they don't roll while slicing them. With the flat side of the Potato down, place 2 chopsticks or wooden skewers on either side and firmly against the body of the Potato (lengthwise). Using a sharp knife, thinly slice the Potato pressing knife down until it hits the wooden skewer. Be careful on the edges of the Potato, not to trim the sides off unintentionally.
-
Place slices Potatoes back into cold water.
-
Using a fine mesh sieve, strain the butter into a bowl. Once all the Potatoes are all sliced, place in a 12 inch cast iron pan or 9x13 baking dish. Drizzle Potatoes with 1/2 of the butter mixture. Sprinkle with salt.
-
Bake in the oven, on middle rack, for 45-50 minutes, until tender when pierced with a fork in the center. This may be a few minutes more or less, based on your oven and the size of your Potatoes.
-
Remove from the oven and drizzle with the remaining butter mixture. Broil for 5-10 minutes until edges are crispy. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese evenly over the Potatoes. Place the Potatoes back into the oven for 3-5 minutes longer until the cheese is nicely browned.
