Hasselback Potatoes

I recently witnessed a celebrity chef making these potatoes. These are so full of flavor and not only do they look good on the plate but they are easy to make as well. 

Ingredients:

4 sm/med potatoes (baker, or red)

1Tbls Olive oil

1Tbls Butter

2-3 garlic cloves, chopped

Salt and pepper

Garnish options: cooked bacon, rosemary, paprika, herbed sour cream, cheese, or parsley.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425º f. Prepare a baking sheet by placing aluminum foil over it. Take one potato and, starting at one end, being careful not to cut all the way through, make 1/8inch slits in the potato. Repeat with remaining potatoes. Brush olive oil and butter over the potatoes. Sprinkle each potato with garlic, salt and pepper. Arrange the potatoes on the baking sheet and place in the oven for 40-50 minutes or until the potatoes turn crispy and the inside is soft.
