Hasselback Potatoes Butter Garlic (Print)

Sliced potatoes caramelized with butter, garlic, and herbs for a golden, irresistible side dish.

# What You Need:

→ Potatoes

01 - 4 large russet or Yukon Gold potatoes

→ Fat & Seasoning

02 - 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
03 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
04 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 1 teaspoon sea salt
06 - 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

→ Herbs & Garnish

07 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
08 - 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, optional
09 - 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, optional

# How to Make:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Wash and scrub potatoes thoroughly, leaving skins on.
03 - Set each potato on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, make thin slices about 1/8 inch apart across the potato, stopping just before cutting all the way through to keep the base intact.
04 - Gently fan the potato slices apart for even seasoning.
05 - In a small bowl, combine melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper.
06 - Place potatoes on prepared baking sheet. Brush with half of the butter mixture, ensuring some gets between the slices.
07 - Roast potatoes for 30 minutes.
08 - Remove from oven and brush potatoes with remaining butter mixture.
09 - Return potatoes to oven and roast for 20 minutes more, or until edges are golden and crisp and interiors are tender.
10 - Remove from oven and sprinkle with parsley, thyme, and Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately.
