What is Hasselback Potatoes with Parmesan Cheese?

Hasselback is referred to the way of slicing the potatoes.These potatoes are then baked to perfection.

Baking the potatoes with their skin, at a high temperature makes sure that they are ,if done right ,crisp on the edges and melty buttery inside.When the knife is inserted in the potato, it should slide through like it would in room temperature butter.

Top the potatoes with some melty cheese such as gruyere or Gauda and broil for 5 minutes before serving for an extra indulgent affair.

Tips to make Hasselback Potatoes with Cheese

Type of Potatoes

In India,its not very common to find varieties of potato, so my suggestion is just to find big clean potatoes which don’t have any bruises or growth on them.

If you are in USA ,try using russet potatoes.

Seasoning

Salt,Salt,Salt!

This dish can end up flat if not seasoned properly.The potato doesn’t have a taste of its own and hence if it’s not salted appropritately it can end up being very bland.

My suggestion is to sprinkle some salt from a height on the potato so that the salt goes inside the grooves.Keep in mind that you are using three sources of salt in this dish-table salt, butter and parmesan.Parmesan and butter can have varying amounts of salt depending on the region they are from and if the salt from them is not accounted from the dish can be over salted.

Cutting the potato Hasselback

The cutting of the potato can be tricky but after a lot of research the Tasty people have declared using two chopsticks to anchor the potato and slicing with a sharp knife the best way to make clean, even cuts of potato.

Variations of Hasselback Potato

This is more of a technique than a recipe and hasselback will work on any root vegetable-Sweet potato and Butternut pumpkin are my second favourites after potato.

I have also seen videos of people cutting a chicken breast thus and deep frying it.I have not tried it yet though.

Cheese- I have used parmesan cheese here.You can omit it completely for a healthier version or add some gouda or cheddar in the last 5 minutes instead for the dramatic melty cheese effect.

Also try the same recipe with some peri peri or indian garam masala.

Healthy, Dairy Free and Vegan Version

Dairy free version brush the sliced potato with olive oil instead.Leave out the cheese and experiment with vegan pesto or sprinkle some chat masala on top.

Before you dive into the recipe, I want to have a quick word about the cast iron skillet I am using.A cast iron skillet is a life time investment as opposed to the teflon coated non stick pans.With adequate love and care it can last your and your kids lifetime.But the real reason to use this is to avoid the harmful plastic coating entering your food.

Have no doubt that teflon coated pans are toxic as are those plastic boxes to store food.I am slowly but steadily moving away from all things plastic.

The pan I use is Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet.It’s pre seasoned and can be used on stove top, induction stove and in the oven.I have been using this for the past 1 year and I couldn’t be happier with my choice.
