Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

4 medium firm potatoes

Seasoning and Oil

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter, melted (or coconut oil for vegan option)
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste

Garnish

Fresh herbs such as rosemary or thyme, as needed

Instructions

Preparation: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Rinse and thoroughly dry the potatoes. Using a sharp knife, carefully make thin slices about 1/8 inch apart along each potato, stopping before cutting all the way through. To prevent slicing too deep, place a wooden spoon on either side of the potato as a guide.
Seasoning: In a bowl, combine the melted butter and olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Brush this mixture generously over each potato, making sure to get the oil and seasoning in between all the slices for maximum flavor.
Baking: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the prepared potatoes on it. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Garnishing and Serving: Remove the potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool just slightly. Garnish with fresh herbs such as rosemary or thyme to enhance flavor and add a vibrant touch. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Hasselback potatoes!

Notes

Use firm potatoes like Yukon Gold or Russets for best results.
Be careful not to slice all the way through the potatoes to keep them intact.
For a vegan version, replace butter with coconut oil.
Fresh herbs such as rosemary and thyme complement the potatoes beautifully but you can substitute with parsley or chives.
To make cleanup easier, line your baking tray with parchment paper.
