Hasselback Potatoes

Oh hasselback potatoes are so simple and delicious to make. We suggest you make it today for dinner. Or lunch. Or snack. Or breakfast. Just make them!

Now we decided we wanted to do a bacon-garlic potato but just remember you can put whatever you like in it. Get creative! Cast: potatoes, bacon, garlic, butter, and olive oil.

First make your butter and olive oil mix. Nothing to complicated just melt the butter and stir in olive oil. Set aside.

Next, make slits down the entire length of the potato.

Remember, the more cuts the more you can stuff!

Once the potatoes are cut slice your garlic very, very thin!

Then put the garlic in every other cut, or every cut if you want it extra garlicy.

Oh bacon. We meet again. Slice the bacon thin and again place the bacon in the cut potato.

Now some recipes say to simply dunk the potatoes in the butter olive oil mix but we find if you pour it over the potato the butter gets into every nook and cranny and makes it even more delicious.

Place on a baking sheet and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Then throw in the oven for ~40 minutes.
