Hasselback Potato With Crumb Topping Recipes

HASSELBACK POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Stir together the butter, olive oil, chives and some salt and pepper in a small bowl.
• Place a potato between the handles of 2 wooden spoons or 2 chopsticks. Slice the potato into thin slices, leaving 1/4 inch at the bottom unsliced; the spoon handles will prevent you from slicing the potato all the way through. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
• Put the potatoes on a baking sheet and brush on the butter mixture, making sure to get in between all the slices. Bake until tender and crisp, 55 to 60 minutes.

HASSELBACK POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Use a metal skewer and insert through the back of one of the flatter sides of the potato. It should go through most of the potato. Place on a chopping board, skewer-side down, and slice through the potato (be careful not to cut all the way through on both ends). You can also put each potato in-between two handles of wooden spoons, and cut through to the spoon, if this is easier for you. A sharp knife will help to make slices a few mm apart. Remove the skewer and repeat with the remaining potatoes.
• Put the potatoes cut-side up on a shallow baking tray and drizzle over the oil. Rub each potato with your hands to coat well in the oil, getting some in between the slices. Toss in the bashed garlic, rosemary, and season well. Roast for 50 mins - 1 hr until the potatoes are tender throughout and the tops are golden and crisp. Baste with any oil in the pan halfway cooking to get extra crisp potatoes.

HASSELBACK POTATOES (HASSELBACKSPOTATIS)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 Fahrenheit.
• Cut thin, cross-length slices three quarters of the way into each potato, and eighth of an inch apart (or as close as you can), being careful not to cut all the way through. Place in bowl of cold water to prevent discoloring. Set aside.
• To prepare the topping, in small saucepan heat 1/2 cup olive oil over low heat, add garlic, and simmer until garlic is soft, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside 1 tablespoon of oil. Combine garlic, bread crumbs, lemon zest, parsley, butter and salt and pepper. (Reserving lemon juice for later.).
• Remove potatoes from water and pat dry with paper towels. In small baking dish, place potatoes cut side up. Divide bread-crumb mixture evenly over potatoes, and press gently into cuts using your fingertips.
• Bake until potatoes are soft and browned on top, about 45 minutes. If the topping starts to burn before potatoes are done, cover loosely with aluminum foil.
• While potatoes are baking prepare the vinaigrette by whisking 1 tablespoon of reserved oil into lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Spoon a small amount of vinaigrette onto each potato.

HASSELBACK POTATO WITH CRUMB TOPPING

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 200C Wash and dry potatoes so they're pretty. Thinly slice them partway, Hasselback style. Place them in a baking dish lined with baking paper.
• 2. Add melted butter to olive oil and mix well. Use half of this mixture to brush onto the potatoes, in between slices as well as you can be bothered.
• 3. Season potatoes with salt and pepper and cook in oven for 40 minutes or until cooked through.
• 4. Meanwhile, in a bowl add the remaining oil and butter mixture. Add in the remaining ingredients including the Panko crumbs. Stir well.
• 5. When potatoes are done, remove tray from oven and set oven to grill.
• 6. Take spoonfuls of breadcrumbs and pat onto each potato. Try to spread the crumbs well so they cover as much of the potato top as possible (mine hardly do so dont be alarmed if you think you are running out of topping, it just depends on the size of your potatoes).
• 7. Grill potato tops for a few minutes until golden
• 8. Serve with practically anything!
