Finished Hasselback potatoes
Hasselback potatoes or Potato à la Hasselbacken (Swedish: Hasselbackspotatis) are a type of baked potato, where they are cut about halfway through into thin fan-like slices.
They can be served as the main course,[1] or as a side dish or canapé.[2][3] Various toppings can be added, such as caraway seeds, paprika, or breadcrumbs.[4]
Origins[]
Hasselback potatoes were created in 1953 by Leif Ellison, a trainee chef at Hasselbacken restaurant on Djurgården, Stockholm.[5]
