How to make Parmesan Hasselback Potatoes
Tips from the cook
- Use medium Yukon Gold potatoes for a creamy inside, or Russets for crispier edges.
- Chopsticks or wooden spoon handles on either side stop the knife before it cuts through the base.
- Don't crowd the tray and coat the potatoes well with oil, so the slices open and crisp.
- You can slice them a few hours ahead and keep them in cold water; drain and dry them well before seasoning.
