Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Medium-sized potatoes (e.g., Yukon Gold or Russet)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Place a potato on a cutting board and position two chopsticks or wooden spoons on either side to prevent cutting all the way through. Using a sharp knife, slice the potato into thin, even slices—about 1/8 inch apart—without cutting entirely through. Repeat for all potatoes.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine the spices.
Place the sliced potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, generously coat each potato with the spiced butter mixture, ensuring it seeps between the slices for maximum flavor.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and golden brown, and the insides are tender. Baste the potatoes with the spiced butter mixture every 15-20 minutes for extra flavor and even crisping.
Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle them with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Serve the Spicy Hasselback Potatoes as a delicious side dish or enjoy them as an appetizer on their own!
