Hasselback Potatoes are a stunning yet simple side dish featuring thinly sliced russet potatoes baked until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, brushed with butter and perfectly seasoned for irresistible flavor in every bite.
4 large russet potatoes, washed and patted dry
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and divided
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Additional salt and pepper, to taste
Use chopsticks or skewers as a guard to keep the potato base intact while slicing.
For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
Add cheese during the last 10 minutes for a cheesy variation.
Mix garlic or fresh herbs into the butter for added flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Reheat in a 375°F oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
Freezing is not recommended as texture may become mushy.
