So, what are hasselback potatoes? Believed to originate in Sweden, this type of baked potato is cut about halfway through into thin, fan-like slices. Then, you roast the potatoes until crispy and golden. Most recipes also add ingredients between each slice, such as butter, garlic or herbs. The result? A delightful textural contrast — crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside with a ton of flavor. Think of it like a potato chip fused with a baked potato. Let us know if you tried it below!
