I love hasselback potatoes. Recently, I got a new WÜSTHOF CLASSIC 7-inch Hollow Edge Chai Dao. As you all know, I specialize in Asian cooking and I can’t do without a good Chinese cleaver in the kitchen. Literally, Chai Dao means “vegetable knife” in Chinese language…basically it is the most important knife we use in our kitchen. To test drive my new toy, I decided to make Bacon Parmesan Hasselback Potatoes.
When making hasselback potatoes, make sure you control the cutting so you don’t cut through the potatoes! You can use a ladle to cradle the potatoes while you cut and slice the potato. As you can see from my photos, I had a great looking and extremely delicious potato, sliced thinly, loaded with parmesan cheese in between each slit and topped with crispy bacon. Heavenly, so much so that my son gobbled it up during dinner.

In order to prevent from cutting all the way through the potatoes, I use 2 wooden spoons to “cradle” the potato and give me a knife-stop. This prevents me from cutting all the way through them.
Rasa Malaysia
Claud, that’s a great idea!
Edwin
chopsticks should work well as a cutting spacers
Rasa Malaysia
Thanks for the tip Edwin.

Yes I use plastic chopsticks to hold the potato in place. I also prefer to melt butter and paint between each slice of potato – much less fiddly than trying to fit pieces between the slits, while the butter is getting softer and softer. Like the parmesan idea.

Wow! What an easy potato recipe. This is perfect as a side or even an entree in itself. My family will love this especially with the bacon. Thanks for sharing, Bee.

There is nothing like a good knife and Wusthoff makes great ones. But I must say there is also nothing like a great potato and these look quite worthy of that knife!

Are you sure that bacon and Kosher salt are compatible ingredients (seems a strange combination)?

Do you think this would work with a sweet potatoe?
Rasa Malaysia
You can try but I think sweet potato is more mushy in nature and will not work as well, but perhaps you bake shorter? I will have to try it myself. :)

Hi. Do I have to boil the potato beforehand?
Rasa Malaysia
No, you don’t have to. Just bake.
