I can't find any explanation of why cooking potatoes in this manner is often called Hasselback. I think that in many cases, the name Hasselback originates from Germany. One thing that I know for sure is that I cannot STAND Elizabeth Hasselback. She drives me crazy.
Please consult The Dabble's website for ingredients and instructions.
It's a really easy recipe. Here are some of my photos from making Hasselback Potatoes.
Do yous see the slits in the potatoes?

Don't they look pretty? I like the presentation.
Drizzle the garlic butter sauce, and we have a perfect meatless meal...

Hasselback Potatoes are a Swedish dish named after the restaurant that created the technique. The original method has you slice the potatoe horizontally to within a 1/4" to 1/8" from the bottom. Delicious. I am also in agreement with you. Can't stand Elizabeth Hasselback. I also wanted to say I have the same Old Towne Blue Corelle.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the history of Hasselback Potatoes!
ReplyDeleteDon't you love the Old Towne Blue Corelle? I could totally upgrade, but I just love the Old Towne Blue Corelle too much. My mom gave them to me.
