Hasselback potatoes with cheese is a simple, delicious recipe. These baked potato slices are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making them a perfect side dish!
Hasselback potatoes are a great way to put a unique twist on a traditional baked potato. My family LOVES when they see these buttery & cheesy potatoes on the dinner table. This recipe will soon be a top favorite at your house!
When I first saw a recipe for Hasselback potatoes with cheese, I thought the recipe would be difficult and time consuming to make. I wrong. Prepping the potatoes takes under 10 minutes then you pop the pan into the oven and the timer is going off within the hour.
KITCHEN TIP: I set each potato between two knives and slice to prevent the knife from going all the way through the potato as seen below. You can also use spoons, chopsticks or a wood ladle when cutting.
Follow my step-by-step guide to make flavorful and tender sliced baked potatoes. While the potatoes cook, I highly recommend making my Beef Tenderloin Steak Recipe or Baked Chicken Thighs recipe to pair with the cheesy potatoes!
How to make Hasselback Potatoes:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place potatoes between 2 knives and slice (this prevents the knife from going all the way through the potato). Slice horizontally into 1-centimeter sections.
- Soak potatoes in cold water for 10 minutes (this helps the potato sections open up).
- Place potatoes in oven safe skillet.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, add butter, garlic, and salt. Heat for 35 seconds or until butter is melted, stir.
- Brush butter mixture onto potatoes.
- Cook for 20 minutes.
- Add parmesan cheese to potatoes.
- Cook an additional 20 minutes.
- Serve immediately.
