Garlic Hasselback Potatoes

Garlic Hasselback Potatoes

Hasselback Potatoes have a lot going for them already, but we've put a delicious spin on the popular Swedish side dish! Instead of butter, we brush the potatoes with flavorful Garlic Gold® Oil. Then when they’re hot out of the oven, we sprinkle on our Garlic Gold® Nuggets for a perfectly crunchy topping that beats breadcrumbs by a mile. Sliced thinly before baking, these photogenic spuds spread out into a pretty fan as they roast to a crispy, golden brown. Serve them alongside roast chicken, or for a classic pairing, with Swedish meatballs.

Ingredients:

  • 4 large Russet potatoes (about 2 pounds), scrubbed and dried
  • 4 tablespoons Garlic Gold® Oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Garlic Gold® Nuggets

Instructions:

  1. Heat the oven to 425F and line a 9-by-13 baking dish with aluminum foil.
  2. Make 1/4” slices crosswise along the full length of each potato, making sure not to slice through the bottom. You can lay a flat-handled utensil next to the potato to use as a slicing guide to prevent from cutting all the way down to the board.
  3. Place the potatoes in the lined baking dish, then brush two tablespoons of the Garlic Gold® Oil evenly over the potatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then place in the oven and let bake for 30 minutes.
  4. Remove the potatoes from the oven, brushing with the last two tablespoons of Garlic Gold® Oil. If the potatoes have not started to come apart a bit, pry the slices apart gently with a paring knife to ensure that some oil gets in between each slice.
  5. Cook the potatoes for an additional 40 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Sprinkle liberally with Garlic Gold® Nuggets and serve hot.
