Everyone is banging on about Hasselback potatoes; they are the one to watch for 2018. I find this very funny. I have cooked Hasselbacks for years. Still, every recipe should have its day.
Hasselback Potatoes are so, so easy to make. they look stunning on the plate and stacked with deliciousness. They have true versatility in the kitchen as you can switch out the herbs you use, top them with cheese or other tasty toppings to make them a meal on their own. I like them alongside roast meats as they have a robustness which stands up well to a roast.
This style of cooking potatoes is not British, but Swedish and come from the Swedish Hotel in Stockholm of the same name – The Hasslebacken.
