Hasselback Garlic Potatoes w/ Bacon & Cheese Recipe!
For many people, Hasselback style potatoes are nothing new.
Make some slices in a potato, bake, and it magically fans out into an
impressive looking potato with LOTS of character indeed, making for a
brilliant addition to any meal!
Ingredients
16 ounces potatoes
3 to 5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
4 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and fresh black pepper
Fresh chives (diced)
Bacon (cut into large chunks)
Shredded Cheese of your choice- 1-cup
Sour Cream, recipe follows**
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Using a wooden spoon as a cradle, place each potato in the spoon and
make several parallel slits into each potato top making sure not to
slice completely through.
Place 3 garlic slices between slits at the crown of each potato. Toss
in a medium bowl with butter and olive oil.
Place on a baking sheet lined with tin foil and sprinkle generously
with salt and pepper.
When the potatoes begin to "fan out" it's time to make the magic
happen.Carefully slip a hunk of bacon into each slit of the potato
like so and continue to cook
Once the potatoes and bacon are fully cooked (use a knife poke test),
coat the potatoes with heaping helping of shredded cheese. .
Bake until tops are crispy and potatoes are cooked through, about 1
hour. Transfer to a platter and top with Herbed Sour Cream and chives.
Herbed Sour Cream:
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Combine ingredients in a small bowl. Season, to taste, and
refrigerate until use.
