How to make hasselback red potatoes

Hasselback potatoes are amazingly delicious! Even better, they are lower in fat than baked potatoes or Twice Baked Potatoes. And they are so easy to make! This week when I made Hasselback Potatoes, I decided to use smaller red potatoes instead of russet potatoes. It was a little harder to get the spices between the potato slices, but the crunchy herbs on top of the potatoes made a delicious variation.

    Slicing the potatoes part way through is easier if you put a wooden chopstick on each side of the potato before slicing. They stop the knife at a consistent level for nice, even slices.

      I believe the name came from a restaurant in Sweden which first served them.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
