Recipe notes and expert tips

  • The knife matters
    You need thinly sliced potatoes, so use a sharp knife to cut Hasselback potatoes!
  • Measuring
    It’s vital that you don’t slice too close to the potato base; place chopsticks, wooden spoons, or butter knives on each side to prevent you from cutting too low.
  • Oil
    We used olive oil, but you could easily use vegetable or avocado oil.
  • Make them vegan
    The only ingredient that isn’t vegan is butter, so replace it with plant-based butter.
  • Go small
    Use small firm potatoes and serve them as appetizers!
  • Storage
    You can make Hasselback potatoes ahead and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

What are Hasselback potatoes?

Hasselback potatoes are a type of potato dish that is usually roasted or baked.

They are named after the Hasselbacken hotel in Stockholm, Sweden, where they were first created.
A Hasselback potato is made by slicing the potato thinly but not all the way through so that it resembles an accordion.

This increases surface area exposure to the heat, resulting in a crispier potato.

There are many ways to season Hasselback potatoes, but some popular options include herbs, garlic, and cheese.

Which potatoes are best to use for Hasselback potatoes?

If you’re looking for the perfect potato for your Hasselback potatoes dish, you’ll want to use Yukon gold potatoes. They’re a perfect size and have just the right amount of starch to make them with crispy edges on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

Russet potatoes or red potatoes are also a good choice for Hasselback potatoes. They’ll get nice and crispy in the oven, and their larger size means you can stuff them with more toppings.

Whatever potato you choose, make sure it’s nice and firm. You don’t want any mushy bits in your Hasselback potatoes!

    Yum! These were so easy and delicious in the air fryer! I used your wooden spoon trick to keep from slicing all the way through the potatoes and it worked perfectly. Thank you for this yummy recipe!
