Hasselbackspotatis – Hasselback Potatoes Recipe

RatingDifficultyIntermediate

?The Hasselback potato is a type of baked potato that is prepared using a special slicing technique that results in the potato being cut into thin, even slices that fan out from the potato like the pages of a book. This technique was first popularized at the Hasselbacken Hotel in Stockholm, Sweden, and the dish has since become a popular menu item at restaurants around the world.
