How to make Hasselback Potatoes
Make sure you wash the potatoes well when preparing to make these easy-baked Hasselback Potatoes because you won’t be peeling these babies. Use a sharp knife to thinly slice them. Just watch out for those fingers!
In a small bowl mix melted butter (or oil), with chili, garlic, and rosemary. These will still taste great if you decide to use olive oil instead of butter.
After you slice the potatoes, you then brush the garlic oil or butter mixture over the potatoes and then sprinkle some salt and pepper on them. If you want to make these Baked Hasselback Potatoes spicy this would be the time to add some chili flakes or cayenne pepper.
Pop them in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or so until the potatoes are crispy-looking or golden brown.
Recipe notes and Tips
- Use a chopstick to prevent you from slicing through the entire potato. Place the potato in between two chopsticks and carefully use a sharp knife to slice the potatoes until you reach the chopstick.
- Use any potato of your choice. Red potatoes will work and so do Yukon gold potatoes.
- Seasonings: feel free to use other seasonings of your choice if you do not want to use garlic.
Storing and Reheating
- Storing: To store your leftover hasselback potatoes, place them in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You may also freeze them for up to 3 months.
- Reheating: There are two ways to reheat your leftovers. Simply place them in a microwave-safe bowl and reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes until they are heated through, or rebake in a preheated oven at 350F for 6-8 minutes.
Frequently asked questions
The name Hasselback originated in Stockholm, Sweden from a restaurant called Hasselbacken in the 1940s. It involves thinly slicing the potatoes but not all the way through, and then they are either roasted or baked.
Parboiling potatoes before roasting or baking is optional but recommended to make the potatoes extra crispy and cut down on the baking time. But it is a step that is not a must if you do not feel like boiling the potatoes a bit first.
It is recommended to use oil with a high smoking point when frying or roasting potatoes. Oil like vegetable oil, peanut oil, canola oil, or avocado oil. We prefer using avocado oil instead of olive oil whenever possible.

The potatoes look like you spent a of of time, but it’s actually very quick and easy. Tastes good as well.
Just made them. They baked for 60 min, cooked with butter absolutely delicious!
So glad you liked them Dalila
Can these be made in an air fryer? If so, what temp and time would you recommend? Thanks!
Yes, you can. Do 400 F for 25-30 minutes. I suggest you open it and check doneness at 20-25 minutes just in case. It depends on how crispy you like them.
Made these yesterday with olive oil. I agree with longer cooking time and also would make them with butter next time as I found they were kinda bland-ish
I agree. Everything tastes so much better with butter! Timing to vary depending on the size of the potato and oven. Glad you liked them
Tasted great but not after 45min. Not enough time to fully cook it through to the bottom. Maybe an extra 15 min needed. Easy and delicious recipe though!
Thanks for your feedback Yaseen. Mine were perfect after 45 mins. Glad you liked it.
