These Hasselback potatoes looks beautiful, don't' they? Here, I also added several cloves of garlic to these Swedish version of baked potatoes to enhance the flavor. It turned out great, they were very delicious, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside..

Hasselback Potatoes
(Printable Recipe)
Ingredients
6 Medium Size Potatoes
2 - 3 Cloves Garlic, thinly sliced
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
30 g Butter
Maldon Sea Salt
Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Method
Preheat the oven to 220˚C (425˚F). Put the potato on a chopping board, flat side down. Start from one end of the potato, cut almost all the way through, at about 3 to 4 mm intervals.
Arrange the potatoes in a baking tray and insert the garlic in between the slits. Scatter some butter on top of each potato. Then drizzle the olive oil and sprinkle some sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Bake the potatoes for about 40 minutes or until the potatoes turn crispy and the flesh is soft.
Wow, these look delicious! Like the perfect cross between roasties and garlic mashed potatoes. I can't wait to give them a try!
ReplyDeleteI am SO making these this weekend!! Yum!
ReplyDeletethey look absolutely lovely. a very charming dish that could definitely wow many.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen anything like this- they look fantasic! and super fun.
ReplyDeleteYum! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat to see someone blogging this recipe! One extra tip, cut a thin slice lengthwise off the bottom before you begin cutting it on top. This keeps it from rolling around when cutting.
ReplyDeleteThose look fabulous...I'm so doing this for potatoes next time
ReplyDeleteBeing a Swede I've enjoyed Hasselback potatoes most part of my life. Story goes that this was a specialty item at a restaurant situated in what is called "Hasselbacken" (Hazel hill).
ReplyDeleteTo facilitate cutting the potatoes to an even depth you can put them in a wooden spoon, it really makes it easier.
The traditional recipe is salt, butter and a sprinkle of breadcrumbs. This is how I've always made them but this is an interesting twist that I'll definitely try, looks very tasty.
I'm going to make these tonight, they look fabulously tasty.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe.
We love making this for dinner, it's easy beautiful to look at and delicious!Hope you wont mind but I'd love to guide Foodista readers to your site, just add this little widget here to this post and it's all set to go, Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIn Denmark, where I grew up with these type of potatoes we just sprinkle them with paprika. Didn't even consider them not known outside of DK (and Sweden apparently). A tex-mex chilli powder tastes great on them as well.
ReplyDeleteSuperb potatoes, I'm actually having a bit of a potato frenzy at the moment and stumbled your blog just at the right time. Great blog btw, I just started following you.
ReplyDeleteI love making these potatoes, although I only use olive oil, sea salt, ground pepper, and Italian seasoning. I'm DEFINITELY going to have to try this version, as well, it sounds delicious!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! And I just bought a 10lb bag of potatoes, so I will give these a try.
ReplyDeleteJust "stumbled" on your blog! First one of the day. The potatoes look wonderful...I'm going to make those tomorrow night. Having people over and these are perfect!
ReplyDeleteThese look great. I'll have to try them.
ReplyDeletethese look so good. i'm going to have to try them soon. thanks for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteMust. Try. Today.
ReplyDeleteYum.
This great recipe also helps save on the electricity bill since they must bake faster!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
I am going to try this with sweet potatoes, lime and chili powder as well. wonderful recipe. I may also mention you at my blog:

@Monika Dubska: Grubs, it is! Thanks for the comment:)
Is it better to use waxy or floury potatoes for this?
ReplyDelete@S - voodoobass: Waxy potatoes works better because they are good at staying firm and keeping their shape. Thanks for the comment:)
ReplyDeleteFantastic recipe! I will be doing this one very soon. Thank you for the idea. I gave it a thumbs-up on Stumbleupon:)
ReplyDeleteThese sound fantastic! Thumbs up on Stumble!
ReplyDeleteSo, how cool, and how easy is that? A hit in my house for sure!! and it's hot where we live. I will have to see how well it travels, but for now, an excellent home dish which the whole family loves.
ReplyDeletelooks good but don't heat olive oil above 350 degrees F. It turns to trans-fat when heated up to about 370 or so. Butter is good at 400 degrees though.
ReplyDeleteLove the gorgeous look of those potatoes, absolutely yummy. Will definitely try those. Thanks
ReplyDeleteJUST GORGEOUS!!They are brilliant!
ReplyDeleteHi! I made these last night and they were wonderful and so easy! Will go on the rotation for sure. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLooks super yummy!
ReplyDeleteLooks super yummy!
ReplyDeleteOMG! Those look sooooo good!
ReplyDeletemmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
i just tried this recipe, it is so super easy and incredibly delicious! thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I love how you added garlic. I've never made these b/c they seemed to plain. And I can't believe you used just 2 tbs. of olive oil. I'll have to give them a go.
ReplyDeleteHasselback potatoes work!
ReplyDeleteThese potatoes look wonderful...
ReplyDeletemerci for the recipe.
WOW this is one I'll have to try. When you bake them, do the slices separate on their own?
ReplyDeleteCan't believe I have never seen these before... tried the recipe out this weekend and they taste as good as they look! I'll be doing that one again.
ReplyDeleteNice idea. I also like the look of your blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat I'd REALLY like to see is HasselHOFF potatoes!
ReplyDeleteAnother easy way to cut the potatoes without cutting the whole way through is to place a wooden chopstick on either side of the potato so you simply slice down until your knife is resting on the chopsticks.
ReplyDelete@tahtimbo: Thanks for the "thumbs-up"!
ReplyDelete@Mallory: Thanks for the "thumbs-up" too!
@Anonymous:Thanks for the tips! :)

@deib: Thanks for the great idea:)
Great! Going to try it out today :-)
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous! I can almost taste that crispy/melty contrast. I'll definitely try these sometime!
ReplyDeleteThose are served on a stick down here at Fairs. :-0
ReplyDeleteYour pics are gorgeous, I might have to try making those at home ;-)
These look so delicious and crispy
ReplyDeleteI had these just 2 days ago and am thinking of having them again this evening! Have you heard of heaven? Well I just recently went there with these potatoes. Mmm Mmm. Yay and Hooray all at once!
ReplyDeleteI've made these before and they were mad! Sprinkle some paprika over the top for some extra bite.
ReplyDeleteI failed at making these, sadly... I should have read the comments before trying to cut the potatoes.. Also wondering if I need a different kind of potato, my potato's still got the rough brown looking skin.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't a total waste though, despite their look they are still pretty delicious with sour cream.
Simple and impressive! This is definitely my next potato preparation.
ReplyDeleteA note in reply to the anonymous comment on the 18th, about heating olive oil - that's a myth.
http://www.oliveoilsource.com/cooking_olive_oil.htm
I really have to try these. I didn't imagine you could get potatoes looking all crispy without dousing them in grease, LOL! I think I'll try them with some paprika, red and cayenne pepper. Thanks A!
ReplyDelete@Walter: Happy cooking!
ReplyDelete@sandwicharchitecture : Do try making them:)
@Rachel : Potato on a stick? Good idea! Thanks.
@Wendylee: Thanks. Do try the recipe.
@Anonymous: Your comment, really made my day! Thanks :D
@Kham Tran: Thanks for the tips!
ReplyDelete@Just Reen: Waxy potatoes are best for this recipe. Hope you will try making them again.
@parsnips aplenty: Thanks and noted about the olive oil :)
@Laryea: Ya, those chili peppers sound good to me too!
I love these and have made them many times - the only thing I add is cheese on top!!
ReplyDeletePhenomenal! My kids will go crazy for these, especially with a little parmesan added on top!
ReplyDeleteHasselback potatos, More like Seneca Wallace potatos. To anyone who got that joke, thanks for watching the NFL!
ReplyDeleteWow, it's looking very delicious.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting hungry :) Ill prepare it this weekend. Thanks for the idea.
These potato are really good. One of the Perfect collection of potato dish.
ReplyDeleteIYF VISA ISKCON
i love your blog .)
ReplyDeleteI haven't made these for YEARS!!!
ReplyDeleteGuess what I'll be wowing my boys with tonight???
(Erm... the answer is your pototoes. I just realised that the above sentence looked a little suggestive...)
great receipe! I will definately use this for dinner one night!
ReplyDeleteBonnie
Put the wooden spoon handle beside the potato to use it as a stop, so you don't cut all the through. Try them on the grill, cook them in foil, but use a garlic vinegrette dressing! Damn fine, and way easy.
ReplyDeleteIt's always the simple things in life that are unexpectedly the BEST.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try these.
Thank you for the idea!
WOW! I loved this recipe! I've cooked it twice already and the great thing about it is that you can even add extra stuff and actually be creative. I'm letting all my friends know about it. Thank you soooo much!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely loved these potatoes, just the right blend of garlic and pepper and salt. Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI've made these twice so far and used russet potatoes since that is what I have. they take longer to cook, and if you brush the tops with a little melted butter about 20 min before they're done, this helps to crisp the top. I like the italian seasoning idea - didn't think of that. Next time though, I'll be using Yukon Gold potatoes. The ARE wonderfully delicious!
ReplyDeleteI love Hasselback potatoes, but it has been a while since I made them. This post remind me to to it again.
ReplyDeleteDo you use a special tool to do the cuts or just a very sharp knife (and maybe rest the potato in a wooden spoon like suggested at the top). Would love to give these a try. My email: amy[at]streaminggourmet.com
ReplyDeleteyum I'm making these tonight
ReplyDeleteFirst time to your blog....what a wonderful & easy recipe....
ReplyDeleteThey look superb!!!
ReplyDeleteMmm, j'adore!
ReplyDeletethey look fantastic and I bet they taste great. I'm thinking adding some rosemary and serving with some spring lamb...
ReplyDeleteCooked these twice since I read this post. Turned out beautifully both times with minimum of effort on my part.
ReplyDeleteFound that rubbing with garlic was sufficient flavour for my lot!!
Tried thesse potatoes and it it was a lovely twist on a simple snack, i can not wait to show them off to friends and work colleagues.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea how to cook just an "ordinary" potato. You are a genius, will try tomorrow for dinner. I bet it would be amazing!
ReplyDeleteI have been making these for years. I'm getting ready to post my version on my blog. I'm calling it 1 potato, 2 potato, 3 p...more. I use to make these for my kids.
ReplyDeletewww.rosemaryandthegoat.com
I stumbled on this from a magazine.....tried them, love them, have them all the time!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe!
A work of art! A simple, beautiful and satisfying dish!
ReplyDeleteA simple but impressive way to make potatoes- I love it!
ReplyDeleteVery nice and easy potato recipe. The photography really adds flavor .
ReplyDeleteStumbled upon this page and loving it. As a Swede I enjoy seeing this recipe for Hasselback Potatoes, with a garlic twist, and I will try it asap as the photo alone brings back memories and makes me salivate like one of Pavlovs dogs.
ReplyDeleteGreat recipe, never tried them with the garlic slivers before, delicious.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't made them for years, but stumbled upon your pages whilst looking for inspiration (for a departure from boiled spuds)for a dinner guest.
I also sometimes slip a bay leaf into one of the slits in the potato. Good flavour (especially if serving with something meaty) & adds a certain je ne sais quoi to the aesthetics!
Pupster
OMG, I'll try them for sure, Love the way they look!!!
ReplyDeleteThese tasted and looked great, thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDelete(Impressive results for not much effort, although mine took close to an hour to cook, not 40 minutes)
I tried these tonight and they were a sure winner in our book! I love how the garlic infuses the potato with great flavor.
ReplyDeleteAnd my daughter, who doesn't tend to like garlic, loved spreading the roasted clove on the potato. It reminded her of my breakfast potatoes
Just cooked these and they went down a treat! Everyone loved them. Although the garlic can be a little time consuming to put between the slices, I think I will use garlic infused oil or something similar next time.
ReplyDeleteAlso, 40 minutes isn't long enough either, definitely more like an hour.
All in all, a fantastic recipe that anyone can make.
Definitely worth the extra effort to give each slice a touch of garlic. Makes a great plate presentation!
ReplyDeleteQuick tip on cutting them even..put potato between two wooden spoon handles and it will stop you from cutting to deep.
ReplyDeleteWow, gorgeous blog. Absolutely lovely potatoes!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous and looks simply delicious! I am going to try these. I've been looking around for Swedish recipes... I am part swedish and want to explore that side of food :o) Do you have a traditional swedish cookbook you can recommend??? Stop by my blog and let me know! Thanks so much!!
ReplyDeleteI tried to make them but after 40 minutes in the oven, the outsides looked beautiful and crispy but the middles were hard. Even after 15 extra minutes the middles were disappointingly crunchy, not at all tender. Any idea what went wrong?
ReplyDelete@Alexa: I'm not sure what went wrong. Did you slice the potato thinly and almost all the way through? I make them many times and always turn out perfect.
ReplyDeletethese look really good.. what a clever idea
ReplyDeleteHi, I've followed the recipe for the hasselback potatoes several times, and after baking them for over two hours I end up with potatoes with crispy tops and uncooked bases, do you have any advice? I think since I was using rather old potatoes, that could have had something to do with it, just the regular Idahos.
ReplyDelete@EC: Use Yellow Wax or Yukon Gold potato instead. And slice the potato thinly. Hope you will try making them again.
ReplyDeleteI tried these and the concept is great, nice and easy, and the flavor is good, but at least with my oven, 40 minutes wasn't nearly enough time. I'd suggest an hour.
ReplyDeleteThough I have a sneaking suspicion that my oven is not as hot as it claims, it took well over 40 minutes to bake them... BUT it is soooo worth it. :)
ReplyDeleteI saw the picture and the recipe of the hasselback potatoes two hours ago and I immediately went to the kitchen and cooked them. They turned out delicious and very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
SO good. More than 40 minutes for me too, actually 1.5 hours, same amount of time it took to roast the chicken. These are so pretty and fun for the kids to eat. Your photographs of them do them justice!!
ReplyDeleteThis is what I will be having tonight. It looks awesome and I bet it will taste like that!!
ReplyDeleteCould not really be easier. I will be trying this out tonight.
ReplyDeleteA fantastic idea. Loved it.
ReplyDeleteThey are so similar to the potatoes at the Richmond Night Market. I was really impressed by them when I saw them first, but they were deep fried, I think. Yours seem much healthier and equally pretty! I will certainly try them. Glad I found your recipe and thanks for sharing :-)
ReplyDeletejust tried these tonight...delish, but perhaps it was the size of the potatoes i used, i had to cook well over an hour or so to get them fully done. i finished with a sprinkle of parmesean cheese! yum.
ReplyDeleteAre you married?
ReplyDeleteWell, my (swedish) mother taught me to make them by mixing grated cheese, butter and bread crumbs. some salt and pepper too of course. then you try to get the mix to stick to the potatoes instead of ending up between them... cooking them does take a while, but just make sure the oven's not too hot and that you start making them early.
ReplyDeleteI make a version of this using curry powder in melted butter and use a pastry brush to apply. Can use oven or microwave. Very tasty.
ReplyDeleteIn the oven as I type. Only made two, and altered the recipe by using garlic powder and regular salt/pepper. I am a POOR college student, so it'll have to do. Im growing fond of not measuring things either, so i just poured some melted butter on them and probably a bit too much olive oil and called it a day. Hope they tatse just as good as they look!
ReplyDeleteThese are a sure fire hit, The easy way to cut them is to pass a thin skewer or knitting needle throuth the potato about a third of the way up and slice down on to the skewer, even cuts every time, just mind your hands on the skewer.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning pictures. Yum!
ReplyDeleteseems yummy! thanks for the recipe
ReplyDeleteyummmmm!!! kool ... thanks for useful post (recipe).
ReplyDeleteThose look delicious and easy to make!!
ReplyDeleteI love when I find a recipe for something that I already have at home...these are a win can't wait to try!
ReplyDeleteI think I'll be making these tonight! They look delicious, I think I might add a little Thyme in with the garlic.
ReplyDeleteAlso just a thank you to the person who linked the information on cooking with olice oil, that was incredibly useful!
I "stumbled" on your website...and it looked so beautiful that I had to try right away..
ReplyDeletethey are in the oven right now..can't wait! :-)
Thanks for posting this..
This looks absolutely scrumptious! The dressing sounds superb with the garlic and olive oil... mm!
ReplyDeleteI have these in my countertop oven now. Am using sweet potatoes because I had just bought some and they are so good for you. Expecting great things.
ReplyDeletelooks delicious!!!
ReplyDeleteLike Emeril would say "kick it up a notch" by putting a slice of bacon in between all those cuts or slices of anything else that might cross your mind: eggplant, tomatoes, mushrooms, etc.
ReplyDeleteAlso, an excellent tip I got from a friend: put 2 wooden chopsticks on both sides of the potatoes when cutting - it'll prevent cutting all the way down.
Interesting and versatile idea! Thanks for sharing :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious. ^^ I'm gonna try these tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI tried them tonight, using red potatoes and what people call "butter potatoes" (a yellowish tint to the skin and flesh). The butter potatoes were MUCH better. Overall, though, both were phenomenal! I thought there would be too much garlic. Wasn't even close! They were perfect! Thanks for the suggestion.
ReplyDeletea Flickr contact just told me about http://www.airportdining.net/ airport restaurant reviews. Looks like it could be useful.
ReplyDeleteVery Classy Potatoes!!
ReplyDeleteJust made it, best potatoes I've ever made!
ReplyDeletethose look so simple and delicious - going to make myself one soon!
ReplyDeleteReally taste :) I guess :)
ReplyDeleteYou could visit these cool art pictures by my opinion www.exalism.com
Regards :)
Angel
They look fantastic, great photos.
ReplyDeleteHmm, I tried them tonight and they didn't come out quite as awesomely as in the picture... Maybe next time I'll try more butter and oil.
ReplyDeleteI found this on stumbleupon and its awesome!! I'm about to go make these for an apology lunch haha :p
ReplyDeletegot mine in the oven cooking right now :)
ReplyDeleteI just made these last night and they were amazing! The garlic permeates the potatoes very nicely and the flavor is awesome. I will be definitely making them again.
ReplyDeleteTry this, After baking, sprinkle with shredded Cheddar and pop back into oven until cheese melts.
ReplyDeleteI added the cheddar and it was fantastic!
ReplyDeletewww.danvypham.com
i want to make these right now, but on the grill.... any thoughts????
ReplyDelete@Anonymous: Grill the potatoes on medium "indirect" heat.
ReplyDeleteI made this for brunch last week and one of my guests yelped, "Potato chips!" before munching it down. LOL. Great recipe!
ReplyDeletewow, how cool! never seen this before. Another one for my to-do list.
ReplyDeleteWow this hasselback potatoes looks delicious, just by looking at the image it makes my mouth water. It looks like a croissant but really its potatoes. That is incredible, I would like to try this out now. Thanks for posting ingredients.
ReplyDeletePut youre potato in a spoon for slicing ;0)
ReplyDeleteI have never seen these before, but they looked so good, I just put a batch in the oven!
ReplyDeleteI just made these potatoes! I lived in Denmark for a year and I have family that would make them periodically. I was excited when i found the recipe! For an extra twist I added about 1/8t thyme on each potato, which turned out great.
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious - I'm definitely going to try this!
ReplyDeleteThese are absolutely gorgeous, I must try making some right now. What a way to amp up the normal baked potato!
ReplyDeleteMade these twice now and they were delicious both times. Thanks for the great idea!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious!!
ReplyDeleteJust got done eating these heavenly potatoes! YUM! I infused the garlic into the oil and used 2 plastic pens on the base while cutting to ensure uniformity and to prevent cutting all the way through.
ReplyDeleteI used to make these years ago but I never knew what they were actually called until now! I sprinkled bits of rosemary for additional flavour.
ReplyDeleteis the butter supposed to be melted or just in chunks?
ReplyDelete@Anonymous: chunks.
ReplyDeleteThese are the best! I'm from Sweden and I grew up with these :) The wooden spoon is a must have when cutting thin slices. We always add plenty of cream on top of the potatoes (and in the form) when they have about 10 minutes left in the oven. Makes it ten times better!!! Make sure it's real cream (~40%).
ReplyDeleteLove your site! Keep up the good work!
Like!
ReplyDeleteThese look sooo good and yummy! Will give it a shot soon! Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteMade these the other night and they were wonderful, crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. I used russets and they didn't even have that mealy grain that they normally have when just baked.
ReplyDeleteTIP 1: Cut a thin slice off the bottom so the potato doesn't roll around when cutting the slices.
TIP 2: Lay chopsticks on either side of the potato to obtain consistent vertical slices.
I'm making these tonight as a side dish with honey lime chicken.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous: Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so yummy huh!!! I've never try to eat this kind of recipe yet.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so yummy! I will have to try it :)
ReplyDeleteMy mom used to make these all the time when I was a kid, and I never knew what they were called...we called them pill bugs, because they looked like those garden bugs lmao
ReplyDeletethank's a lot for this great post
ReplyDeleteThese are in the oven as I write --my first time trying them. Reading the comments I see you can add many variations with different seasonings. I'm trying this original recipe first but would like to try an Italian and Tex Mex variation later however tonight I will sprinkle mine with paprika and parsley for color and serve with a side of sour cream, banking off the baked potato. Great post, glad I found it, thank you!
ReplyDeleteI have made these several times! LOVELOVELOVE your recipe. fantastic twist on the traditional hasselback potatoes.
ReplyDeletei make these all the time but instead of garlic i put pieces of raw bacon in the slices, very yummy.
ReplyDeleteDo you have to take the skin off the potato first?
ReplyDelete@lilly: It's not necessary to peel the potato skin.
ReplyDeleteMade these tonight using medium sized Idaho baking potatoes. Turned out delicious except they didn't have the golden appearance as pictured. Will try the Yukon Gold potato next time.
ReplyDeleteI tried it and it was so easy and delicious! Am going to share it on my blog: www.missusd.com. Will credit and link back to you.
ReplyDeleteJust a quick tip; if you push a skewer through the potatoes length ways, it stops you cutting the slices too deep.
ReplyDeletethis is soooo Yummie. Here at home they love it!!! Also great with basil on them!!!
ReplyDeleteThe story my Chef told me about these in cooking school was that they are originally a German creation and they are named after the German word for when the hair on the back of a dog or cat sticks up when they are frightened or mad.
ReplyDeletethere is a tool that screws into the end of the potato, and makes one continuous spiral. i don't know what is called
ReplyDeleteI just couldn't wait! I had one potato left so I just put it in the oven. I can't wait for my afternoon snack.
ReplyDeleteWow...where have I been all this time....I am very impressed with the appetizing appearance of these baked potatoes. I will have to impress my family with these, that is a sure thing. Love your blog.
ReplyDeleteI'm making these potatoes as we speak! I hope they turn out as beautiful as these!!
ReplyDeleteVery tasty potatos! My husband loved it so much.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Those look so good!
ReplyDeleteSo I made these the other night. My husband LOVED them!! (and so did I) He was begging me to make him more. What is not to love? It is such a fun recipe.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
Ooh these look delicious! I will be making these tonight!
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
curiousdamsel.blogspot.com
these were delicious. definitely cut the bottom flat before slicing
ReplyDeleteMy poppy used to make these when we were kids and I loved them but he stopped as he said they were fiddly. going to try it out!!
ReplyDeleteBeen seeing these all over the internet on Pinterest, Foodgawker and google and I just HAD to make these. They came out excellent, thanks so much
ReplyDeletethank you for sharing. super...
ReplyDeleteWhat am I doing wrong? I followed the steps and my four medium potatoes are still not done after 1 hour...any advice?
ReplyDeleteThese were simple and incredibly delicious. I used yukon gold since that's what I had on hand and they came out so beautiful. Thanks so much!
ReplyDelete
