I’ve never made hasselback potatos, they always look like they might be a bit of a hassle. Hmmm, maybe that’s where the name comes from! Anyway, yours look so good that I’m now rethinking my strategy.
They’re really easy to make! hope you love them, thank you!
I love hasselback veg, and this looks gorgeous, Anna! I do a butternut squash version with maple, sage and pecans so this much more savoury vibe is a nice change 🙂
thank you Kellie! I will check the recipe, sounds divine!

I don’t know why I have never made these before. I really must, they look so good.
These look delicious! What is the best potato to use?
Hasselback potatoes are best made with floury or the most starchiest potatoes, like Russets or Yukon Gold. Hope you love it!
