Mini Hasselback Potatoes
Ingredients
- 2 pounds small red potatoes
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
- Use a sharp knife to cut potatoes in ⅙-inch increments, stopping about ¼ from the bottom. Tip: To make this easier, lay a wooden spoon on a cutting board and place the potato in the spoon. Make the cuts, stopping once the knife hits the spoon.
- Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl. In a small, microwave-safe bowl, place the butter, garlic, salt, and pepper. Heat until butter is melted, about 45 seconds. Pour the mixture over the potatoes and gently toss to combine.
- Spread the potatoes evenly on the baking sheet, cut sides up. Pour any remaining butter mixture over the tops. Bake for 20 minutes, use a spatula to toss and mix, then place cut side back up. Bake for 20-25 minutes longer, or until potatoes are fork tender.
- If adding parmesan, remove from the oven and push the potatoes together in the center of the baking sheet. Sprinkle the cheese over the top and serve immediately.
