They are fancy baked potatoes.
They are fun to make and they are fun to eat too.
They are full of butter,cheese, and cream deliciousness.
And they can be all yours… so let’s make them…

This is what we need.

1. Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C).
2. Scrub the potatoes clean.

3. Using a sharp knife, make slices across the potato, being sure to stop before you reach its bottom.

4. Slice the butter and Parmesan.
5. Next, open the potatoes’ crevices and shove the Parmesan and butter, alternating between the two.
Tip: It helps to put butter in freezer for awhile before cutting it.
6. Transfer the potatoes onto an oiled baking sheet and drizzle a little oil on top of the potatoes.
7. Season with salt and garlic powder. You can be quite generous with salt.

8. Bake for about 60 minutes.

9. After about 45 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Drizzle cream over the top and top with grated cheese. Any cheese you like.
10. Return the baking sheet to the oven for the last 15 minutes.

And here it is, the precious little baby.
You can serve it with a dollop of sour cream, it makes a nice flavor combo.

And this is what our lunch looked like today. Scalloped Hasselback Potato with chicken and a little gravy. Yummy!
Enjoy, dear friends.
See you soon.
Love,

This looks delicious, fabulous comfort food! I can’t believe I’m the first one to comment.
Looks and sounds like a remarkable side-dish. Gotta try it! I suppose the parmesan was used because it holds up longer to the oven heat, its flavor bonding with the potato rather than instantly melting down to the pan? Wonder what a substitute might be?
I have made Hasselback potatoes for over 40 years. But I have never made them like this! Am going to fix them like this for my Valentine this year. This recipe gives me some other ideas for them also.
I love this recipe. One thing I have found that helps on the third step is to place two chopsticks on either side of the potato – that way you won’t chop all the way through the potato.
