Mini Hasselback Potatoes
These Mini Hasselback Potatoes are an all-time favorite way to enjoy baked potatoes. The thin slices cut into each potato increase the surface area for maximum crispiness and flavor infusion once the melted butter, garlic, and parsley are brushed over.
Hasselback is the term for baked potatoes sliced into thin, fan-like slices without cutting entirely through the potato. They can be served as a side dish or a main.
I prefer the smaller variety for this recipe, you can use larger potatoes too, but you will need to cook them for longer.
I haven’t specified the type of potato best for this recipe. Use what you enjoy cooking with the most. Yukon Gold potatoes are great for roasting or choose from the variety of fingerling potatoes that are available in store.
Yes, you can! Prepare the potatoes as you would for this recipe but instead of baking them, add them to the air fryer basket for 15 minutes at 350F. After 15 minutes, brush some more melted butter over them and cook for another 15 minutes.
Spray the air fryer basket with oil very lightly to prevent the potatoes from sticking to the surface of the basket. Ensure the basket is not overcrowded so the potatoes get air circulation for maximum crispiness.
These potatoes can be enjoyed as a delicious side dish to roasts and casseroles or you can serve them as a snack or even a main meal!
Recipe Notes:
- Turn this into a vegan dish by substituting butter with coconut oil or olive oil. If you decide to serve this with toppings, make sure that they are vegan-friendly.
- Use a sharp knife to make the slicing even and uniform in width. Hasselback potato cutters are also available to purchase for convenience.
- Avoid kitchen accidents by drying the potatoes well before cutting them.
- I always keep the potato skins on for Hasselback potatoes as they provide a delicious crispy exterior. You can peel the potatoes before slicing them if you like, although it may make the potatoes more delicate.
- Be creative with your seasonings and toppings. Onion and sage work wonderfully with potatoes. Fresh rosemary, thyme, garlic, smoked paprika, and even a little cumin and cayenne pepper are all great options in different combinations.
- Space the potatoes on the baking tray as they need to be crisp. If they are overcrowded, they will steam instead.
Mini Hasselback Potatoes
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut slits two-thirds of the way into each potato around ¼ inch apart. You can use skewers or a wooden spoon handle to help keep the knife from slicing all the way through the potatoes.
- Stir together the butter, garlic, and parsley.
- Place potatoes onto the baking sheet and brush garlic butter over each potato. Season with salt and pepper.
- Bake potatoes for 20 minutes, then remove potatoes from the oven and baste again with garlic butter.
- Continue to bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, until potatoes are cooked through. Remove potatoes from the oven and baste again before serving.
