I love making ‘regular’ baked potatoes. And I love making Hasselback potatoes (read the history of them here). For whatever reason, I find making them to be more fun. They are cool looking. They’re super-easy to cook. These three cheese Hasselback potatoes are simple yet packed with plenty of yummy creamy cheese. I love cheese. I love these potatoes.
Get A Gadget
Time for me to fess up. In the past I’ve cut my Hasselback potatoes by hand. I used an old wooden spoon to prevent me from cutting too far. I was fairly successful at it, but it was time consuming and often frustrating. So now I ‘cheat’. I bought a slicing rack for these three cheese Hasselback potatoes. My life is oh so much better since I did. Perfectly sliced potatoes, every single time. I admit, it’s not a kitchen gadget that I find myself using every day. But when I do need it it saves me a lot of time and a whole lot of frustration!
Make sure you use a good grater for the cheese, and definitely don’t buy the pre-grated stuff unless you absolutely have to!
