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.
The potatoes will fan out as they bake.

That sounds delicious!

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.

These look great, I am going to have to try them! Do you have any idea where the name for them came from?

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