Herbed Hasselback Potatoes
Herbed hasselback potatoes are an easy and unexpected side dish. Serve them with beef, chicken, turkey and more.
I have never made hasselback potatoes before. I know, you’re thinking, those are are really even cuts for a hasselback potato. It’s true, though and I didn’t use any tool other than the hasselback wood block cutting board to keep from slicing completely through the potato.
You’ll notice the potatoes before they are baked are very close. Don’t try to open them, you may break the potato in half. As it bakes, they will open up and the delicious compound butter will seep between the slices.
I actually melted the butter to brush on the potatoes, though very soft butter will work too. You can actually make the garlic herb butter a few days in advance which is helpful if you are serving these for the holidays or a party.
Once the potatoes come out of the oven, brush with more garlic herb butter. It may seem like a lot but it’s really not. Brushing them with butter helps them get slightly crispy and provides so much flavor.
These herbed hasselback potatoes would be delicious served with my hasselback chicken cordon blue. I know your guests will be impressed!

I love potatoes and Hasselbacks are always sooo yummy! These look super and I know they’d be a hit!
Hasselback potatoes are always a hit. So delicious and impressive.
I’ve never made Hasselback potatoes but we make baked potatoes all the time. I need to give these a try!
Love these. Melting the butter first is a great tip. The first time I tried to make these I use softened butter…I got more on my fingers than in the slits of the potatoes.
I love these! They make such a gorgeous presentation, and are such a nice elegant change from a baked potato.
These look really yummy. I’ve never heard of a hassle back potato, I need to try it now.
