Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Potatoes

Start by washing and drying the *young potatoes* thoroughly. This ensures that any dirt is removed and the skins are clean.

Make sure the potatoes are dry before moving on to the next step to help the olive oil adhere better.

Step 2

Slice the Potatoes

Using chopsticks or bamboo skewers, slice the potatoes in a *hasselback* style. The goal is to cut deep into the potato without slicing all the way through.

This technique helps in creating a beautiful and crispy texture once baked.

Step 3

Season and Bake

Place the sliced potatoes in a baking dish. Drizzle them with *olive oil* and season generously with salt and pepper.

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the potatoes for about *one hour*, or until they are tender and golden brown.

Step 4

Prepare the Sauce

While the potatoes are baking, prepare the *Greek yogurt sauce*. In a bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, crumbled feta cheese, chopped fresh basil, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Stir the ingredients until well combined and set aside for serving.

Step 5

Serve and Enjoy

Once the potatoes are baked, remove them from the oven and serve them hot with the *Greek yogurt sauce* on the side.

Enjoy this delicious and visually appealing dish as a perfect appetizer or side dish!

Servings

Once your Hasselback Potatoes come out of the oven, the fun really begins! Here are some delightful serving ideas to make your dish shine:

Serve your crispy potatoes with a generous scoop of the Greek yogurt sauce, rich with herbs and tang. This creamy topping will enhance the taste of the potatoes and add a beautiful visual contrast. A sprinkle of fresh basil on top not only adds a pop of color but also an extra layer of flavor. 🌿

If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding some grated cheese on top for a melty finish, or drizzle with a bit of balsamic reduction for a sweet touch. Your guests will be amazed by how a simple potato can transform into a gourmet experience! 🧀✨

Faq

  • How do I make the Hasselback cuts without slicing all the way through?

    Use two chopsticks or wooden spoons on either side of the potato while you slice. This will create a barrier that prevents you from cutting all the way through.

  • Can I use other types of potatoes for this recipe?

    Absolutely! While young potatoes work best, you can also use Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes. Just ensure they are firm and fresh.

  • What should I do if my potatoes are browning too quickly?

    If your potatoes are browning too quickly, you can cover them with aluminum foil for part of the baking time and then uncover for the last 10-15 minutes.

  • Can I prepare them ahead of time?

    Yes! Slice the potatoes and store them in cold water for up to an hour before baking. Just make sure to dry them thoroughly before applying oil.

  • What's the best way to add flavor?

    You can add herbs, spices, or garlic to the olive oil before brushing it on the potatoes to infuse flavor right into the layers!

  • What should I do with leftovers?

    Leftover Hasselback Potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results!
