Bacon Hasselback Potatoes

As I empathise it, Hasselback potatoes originated in Sweden equally far dorsum equally the 1700's and there are a lot of variations. Basically it is an unpeeled baking murphy that has been partially sliced, buttered and baked. The exterior is crispy, salty in addition to chewy but the within of the murphy is smoothen in addition to moist. They are very tardily to make, delicious to swallow in addition to pretty plenty to serve over the upcoming holidays.

A discussion of alert virtually these photographs: I didn't realize that the photos were on the blurry side until nosotros finished dinner, thence I couldn't re-take them. Sorry virtually that.

This version has bacon inwards it !!

There actually isn't a specific recipe, but I practice direct maintain a few tips that volition aid you lot inwards the process.

Things to practice ahead of time:

Lay i strip of good quality smoky THICK bacon (for every two potatoes) on a apartment surface in addition to freeze for virtually thirty minutes. This volition aid you slide the bacon downward into the cuts of the potato.

Use meaty bacon

Bring a pot of H2O (large plenty to concur the potatoes) to a total boil.

Wash the unpeeled potatoes, scrubbing them amongst a vegetable brush, thence drying them amongst a newspaper towel.

Next, it's fourth dimension to cutting the slices into the potato. Because it is tardily to cutting also far, it's ameliorate to purpose only about kind of cutting depth guide. Personally, I lay the murphy between 2 spoon handles and purpose a sudden (thin bladed) knife to cutting downward exclusively equally far equally the spoon handles.

Next, seat the potatoes into the pot of boiling water. Let boil iv minutes for larger potatoes in addition to two minutes for medium potatoes. Gently elevator them out in addition to pat them dry.

Coat the potatoes with melted butter, making certain it gets downward into every cutting (just don't endeavor to PRY the slices apart also much).

After you've buttered the potato, insert iii pieces of frozen bacon (evenly spaced) into the potato. Make certain the bacon is large plenty to locomote a picayune wider in addition to taller than the murphy because it volition shrink equally it bakes.

Butter again in addition to thence sprinkle amongst kosher common salt in addition to coarsely dry reason dark pepper.

Bake at 350° (2 hours for large potatoes in addition to i 1/2 hours for medium potatoes). Dab them amongst a picayune butter virtually one-half agency through.

The final 5-10 minutes of baking, melt a little butter in addition to add together a finely sliced dark-green onion(optional) in addition to one-half a clove of minced garlic. Let the garlic toast inwards the butter JUST A LITTLE, thence drizzle the garlic butter over the potatoes in addition to bake a few minutes more.

Carefully elevator the potatoes out of the baking dish amongst a sturdy utensil.

The potatoes direct maintain a smooth and slightly smoky flavor. Picky-picky married adult man loved them. Like I said, lamentable virtually the pitiable character of todays photos.
