What are Hasselback Potatoes?
What’s in a name? These fanfare potatoes got their start in Sweden in the 1700s at the Hasselbacken Hotel in Stockholm. Thus their name Hasselback potatoes. They are simply ordinary potatoes thinly slices in such a way that when they bake the slices separate and create a fan like appearance. This allows for butter, herbs and seasonings to sink deep into the cracks and throughout the potatoes. They are crispy, flavorful and super impressive!

Flavor: Experiment with flavors and seasonings. You can use chili powder, Italian seasoning, and ranch or create your own mix of flavors. Top it: Top these with cheese, sour cream, bacon, any of your favorite toppings or just a little bit more butter. You can eat them straight from the pan as well.
