The Hasselback Potato claims to be a dish invented in the 1700 In A Hotel in Stockholm Sweden. The Hasselbacken Hotel and restaurant. Some even claim that a Student Chef Leif Ellison was the Inventor of Hasselbackpotatis around 1953. Someone still needs to shed some light on  The History Of this Yummy side dish.

This Complicated Looking Potato is actually Quite simple . There have been a lot of ways described as to how one can either ball park the slices on the potato or make it like a professional.There are some amazing names these Potatoes have Like the Accordian Potato ( looks like an Accordian  – a musical instrument) Or The Pillbug Potato.

What kind Of Potato can we use for this Hasselback Potato?

If i may say so Myself, i have made these with Any potato . The Yukon Gold, the Russet, Red Potato, or even Small baby Potatoes. Any potato will do. There are a few tricks that will help you Slice these fancy Potatoes.

• The First trick is to use a wooden Spoon. Place the potato in the Scoop of the wooden spoon. Start slicing through the potato. The sides of the spoon will prevent slicing of the Potato right through. The sliced potato will have almost a quarter inch left at the bottom (unsliced).

•  

• The other most popular trick is using Chopsticks.Place the Potato on or between Two chopsticks. Again the wooden Chopsticks on the edges will prevent through and through slicing of the Potato.

•  

•  One Simpler way if you do not want to use the above tricks is to slice straight down into the potato ball parking , stop just short of cutting all the way through. Make your slices as thick or as thin as you like — 1/4  or 1/8 of an inch . You might just not get even slicing , but its absolutely ok.

•  

• Many E-commerce websites, like Amazon now sell the Hasselback Potato Slicing rack. It provides a guide to cutting the Potato. It is a durable product too.

 Ingredients used for Seasoning the Potato.

A couple things that come to mind when we make a Potato side Dish is the correct seasoning. Imagine a Creamy mash potato lacking salt , or baked potato devoid of seasoning.So Season generously. Ask yourself ‘What are your favourite seasoning?” Besides Salt, pepper, paprika, one can add garlic, rosemary, a mix store bought favourite herb pack, bacon , cheese. The options are many.

• I have used a simple herb mix.

• Olive oil,

• rosemary .

• garlic salt.

• fresh parsley for garnish.
