Hasselback potatoes with sriracha butter

Hasselwhat potatoes? Don’t worry, I also didn’t know what hasselback potatoes were at first. When I was growing up, my mom used to make these potatoes all the time but she used to call them “Concertina potatoes” and let’s face it, that is a much better description of them but whatever the name, these were the potatoes of my childhood.

When my mom and dad were in the mood for something a little fancier than a plain baked potato, they would pull out a knife and slice neat slices into said potato before generously seasoning it with salt, pepper and probably some kind of barbecue spice because my dad loves his barbecue spice. I always thought these potatoes were so fancy but really, they are the simplest thing in the world to make.

Crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside. ?

The most wonderful thing about these potatoes is that you get the best of both worlds: The crisp outer pieces and the fluffy interior. Perfection, amirite? The thing that elevates these potatoes is that glorious sriracha butter. You guys, this is the stuff food dreams are made of. And I don’t think anything has ever made a potato taste as good as that sriracha butter did. It added the perfect amount of spicy richness to the creamy-crispy potato and I had to force myself to not reach for more. These potatoes make a great side dish to anything from roast chicken to grilled lamb chops and be sure to make more than you think, they go fast!

Depending on your oven and the size of potatoes you use, anything between 45 and 60 minutes will be sufficient. When a knife can be inserted easily, you know they’re ready.

    The name hasselback comes from the restaurant hasselbacken in Stockholm Sweden who supposedly invented them but as Shakespeare said a rose………………
