Hasselback Potatoes
Hasselback potatoes are the Swedish version of a baked potato. They originated from the Hasselbacken Hotel Restaurant in Stockholm, Sweden.
Regardless of the origin, I am a huge fan of baked potatoes, especially beautifully sliced potatoes and every slit is filled with amazing garlic and butter, just like my garlic butter Hasselback potatoes.
How Do You Cut Hasselback Potatoes
I get this question a lot so I will show you the picture how to slice and cut the potatoes. The secret tool is a wooden ladle.
Place each potato in the spoon and then slice horizontally. The wooden ladle will make sure that you don’t accidentally cut through the potato. This is a brilliant kitchen hack!
Yellow Potatoes Or Red Potatoes
I love yellow potatoes, especially baby yellow potatoes. I have so many recipes of baby potatoes (you should totally check them out).
So, can you make Hasselback potatoes with red potatoes? Of course, you can. The flavor doesn’t change, even though the skin color is different.
You may also combine both yellow and red potatoes for this Hasselback potatoes recipe.
How Long Do You Bake Hasselback Potatoes
It all depends on the size of the potatoes. If you use baby potatoes, which I highly recommend, you will need to roast at 400F for about 40 minutes. If you have bigger potatoes, bake for 60 minutes.
To be sure, I always check the doneness by poking a fork into a potato to make sure it’s cooked through. Active time is short so make this amazing side dish for your family!

I didn’t know whether to include the unpeeled garlic in the oven recipe didn’t mention it
It’s stated in step 2.
No
Can I bake the potatoes instead of roasting in a pan? If so, what temperature and for how long?

Regarding my sentence:
“Another thing I’ll do is to first bake the potatoes, un-sliced surface down and then flip them so the sliced surface will be on top.”

Hi Doug, did you use all the garlic butter mixture? If you do, they shouldn’t stick. But yes, you can always grease your pan first. Yes, you can bake bottom side first and flip over! :)
Hi !
I prepared your recipe for “Garlic Butter Hasselback Potatoes” today.
Came out tasting GREAT with a couple of issues.
I had trouble flipping the potatoes because they stuck on the bottom of the pan.
They began to fall apart so I lowered the heat and cooked them 15 minutes longer.
Was I supposed to add the remaining “sauce” into the pot, before baking the potatoes ?
Next time I’ll use non-stick aluminum sheet on the bottom of the pan or add a light layer of oil.
Another thing I’ll do is to first bake the potatoes, un-sliced surface down and then flip them so the sliced surface will be on top.
I think it’ll make a better visual presentation.
What do you think ?
