Crispy, buttery, garlicky Hasselback potatoes with thin accordion-like slices that soak up garlic butter and bake to golden perfection. An easy and elegant side dish perfect for weeknight dinners or holiday meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium russet potatoes (about 2 pounds / 900g)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (85g)
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (30ml)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt (to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated (25g, optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and scrub the russet potatoes well. Pat dry. Place each potato between two chopsticks or wooden spoons on a cutting board to prevent slicing all the way through.
  2. Slice thinly about 1/8 inch (3mm) thick through the potato until the knife hits the chopsticks, creating an accordion-like effect.
  3. In a small bowl, soften the butter (room temperature or gently melted). Stir in minced garlic, olive oil, chopped thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  4. Using a silicone brush or spoon, carefully brush the garlic butter mixture between each slice of the potato and on the outside for extra crispiness.
  5. Place the potatoes on a lined baking sheet or roasting pan. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 45 to 50 minutes, basting halfway through with any remaining garlic butter or pan drippings.
  6. Optional: In the last 10 minutes of baking, sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the potatoes and return to the oven until the cheese melts and turns golden brown.
  7. Remove from oven when slices fan out slightly and edges are golden and crispy. Serve warm.

Notes

Use chopsticks or wooden spoons to avoid slicing potatoes all the way through. Mix garlic into softened butter with olive oil to prevent burning. Baste potatoes halfway through baking to keep moist and flavorful. Add Parmesan cheese only in the last 10 minutes to avoid burning. For dairy-free, substitute butter with olive oil or vegan butter and skip cheese. Do not cover potatoes while baking to maintain crispiness.
