Sliced baked potatoes often referred to as Hasselback potatoes are a delicious and visually striking variation of the classic baked potato. Named after the Hasselbacken restaurant in Sweden where they originated these potatoes are thinly sliced partway through allowing them to fan out as they bake. The slices become crispy and golden on the outside while the inside stays soft and fluffy. This recipe is versatile allowing you to customize the toppings such as butter garlic herbs cheese or bacon to your liking. Perfect as a side dish or even a main course sliced baked potatoes offer an elegant presentation with minimal effort.
