Hasselback Potatoes
Description
Sliced Hasselback potatoes topped with melted butter and cheesy bread crumbs are baked until soft with crispy skin for a splendid potato side dish.
Ingredients
•
4 (8 ounce) baking potatoes
•
2 tablespoons butter, melted
•
salt and pepper to taste
•
2 tablespoons finely grated fresh Romano cheese
•
1 tablespoon seasoned dry bread crumbs
Directions
1
Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2
Peel potatoes and place in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.
3
One at a time, dry potatoes and place in a large wooden or metal serving spoon. Using a sharp knife, slice potato crosswise at 1/8-inch intervals, cutting until the knife touches the spoon, being careful not to cut all the way through so the potato stays intact.
4
Arrange potatoes cut-side up in a shallow baking dish or small roasting pan. Drizzle with 1/2 of the melted butter, then season with salt and pepper.
5
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes; drizzle with remaining butter and sprinkle Romano cheese and bread crumbs on top. Season with a little more salt and pepper and bake until nicely browned, about 20 minutes.
