How to Make Hasselback Potatoes

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2

Set potato on cutting board and place a chopstick on either side of the potato. With a sharp, thin knife, make deep vertical cuts ⅛-inch apart, but without cutting all the way through the potato. Repeat with the other potato. Set chopsticks aside and fan the potatoes open slightly.
Step 3

In a small bowl, combine garlic, olive oil, black pepper and parsley. Drizzle garlic mixture over the potatoes and use pastry brush to spread evenly and in between slices of each potato.
Step 4

Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
Step 5

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or sliced green onion. Serve hot with a side of Bang Bang Sauce or plain nonfat Greek yogurt.
