HASSELBACK POTATOES WITH GARLIC & FRESH THYME RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a Baking sheet with either foil, parchment paper or a silicone mat. Using a wooden spoon, "cradle" the potato. The bowl of the wooden spoon will act as a guide so that you can cut 1/8-inch thick slices, without cutting all the way through. Melt the butter and whisk into the oil. Lightly brush the mat with the olive oil/butter. Drizzle the remaining (or brush on) oil & butter onto each potato. If using the sliced garlic, insert one or two cloves into each potato. Season with salt & pepper. Lay the thyme sprig (or you can use dried herbs, to your preference) and bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 20 minutes. These potatoes should turn out crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. If desired, you can brush some additional olive oil on the potatoes and add fresh Parmesan cheese.

ROSEMARY-GARLIC HASSELBACK POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, stir together butter, oil, chopped rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper.
• Add potato slices to butter mixture; toss to thoroughly coat slices. Pick up potatoes by the handful, and place slices 1 on top of another, forming a small stack. Place potato stack on its side in ungreased 8-inch square (2-quart) baking dish. Continue making small stacks with remaining potatoes and arranging them side-by-side in dish to form 3 rows of tightly packed stacked slices. Scrape bowl for any remaining butter mixture, and spread over potatoes.
• Bake 1 hour. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake 15 to 20 minutes longer or until potatoes are fork-tender and golden brown on top. Garnish with sprigs of fresh rosemary. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
