They look like little armadillos, but that’s where the similarities end. Originally a Swedish potato dish, the name “hasselback” comes from the Hasselbacken Hotel Restaurant in Stockholm, Sweden. These hasselback potatoes are crispy in places, but still soft and buttery at their core, thanks to the increased surface area open to the oven’s heat. You can line up two knives on both sides of the potato to ensure you don’t slice all the way through.

Directions

1. Step

Pre-heat the oven to 425°F.

2. Step

In a small sauté pan over medium heat, add the bacon. Cook the bacon until crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Using a spoon to save the bacon grease in the pan, remove the bacon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate and keep warm.

3. Step

Add the garlic to the pan of bacon grease and cook over low heat for 1 minute. Add the butter, and continue to cook over low heat until the butter is melted, about 0 seconds.

4. Step

Carefully slice thin slits into the potatoes, stopping before cutting through the potato. Place the potatoes in an oven-safe pan. Brush or drizzle half of the butter mixture over the potatoes. Bake potatoes for 30 minutes.

5. Step

After 30 minutes, remove the potatoes from the oven and brush or drizzle with the remaining butter mixture. Bake for an additional 30 minutes. Top the potatoes with sour cream, bacon, and chives. Serve immediately.
