Hasselback Potatoes Recipe

image

Ingredients:

4 medium Yukon gold potatoes
5 tablespoons of melted butter or vegan margarine
1/3 cup of extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons of chopped fresh thyme or 1 flat teaspoon of dried thyme
1 flat teaspoon of sea salt
Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
A pair of chopsticks

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

2. Place a potato on a cutting board with a long side facing you. Place the chopsticks parallel along the two long sides of the potato. Using a sharp knife, slice the potato crosswise into thin slices, about 1/8 of an inch, using the chopsticks as a stopper so you don't cut all the way through the potato. Repeat with remaining potatoes.

3. Arrange the potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet. In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter or vegan margarine, oil, thyme, sea salt, and black pepper. Drizzle the potatoes with half of the oil-butter-seasoning mixture, separating the potato slices slightly so it drips down into the crevices. You can use a silicone basting brush to get the mixture into the crevices, using your fingers to separate the potato slices to help it along.

4. Bake until the potatoes start to soften, about 30 to 35 minutes.

5. Remove from the oven, drizzle with the remaining butter-oil-seasoning mixture, then return to the oven to bake until the potato edges get browned and crisp, about 30 to 35 minutes longer.

6. Remove from the oven and serve up these tasty Hasselback potatoes to loved ones. :)
