Hasselback Potatoes “Garlic Bread” Style: Make this Delicious Recipe

If you haven’t tried hasselback potatoes yet, this is your sign to to try them. This preparation of potatoes takes a minute, but it is so worth it! Hasselback potatoes are a type of baked potato that is cut about halfway through but connected on the bottom to make thin slices. The cuts make each bite of these garlic-y hasselback potatoes super crispy and flavorful. In order to get these cut properly, line up two chopsticks parallel to the potato and begin making thin slices but not cutting all the way through so it’s like an accordion. Trust me, it takes a bit more effort to make these slices for the hasselback potatoes, but you will not regret it!
