Scalloped Hasselback Potatoes
November 16, 2011 in sides
Are you looking for a way to jazz up the potatoes that will be gracing your Thanksgiving table? I have the most amazing recipe for you right here!
If you’ve never heard of the hasselback potato, it’s just a regular baking potato that’s sliced almost all the way through and then baked until crispy. This version of the hasselback is absolutely stuffed with cheese and butter and then it’s baked until the outside is crispy and the inside is soft and delicious. Wait… then it’s topped with more cheese and some cream and baked until the cheese is melty and amazing.
I am so in love with these potatoes! It’s like french fries on crack – crunchy around the edges and soft on the inside and oh my gosh, the cheese! I cannot imagine a more perfect potato! I guarantee this would wow anyone around your table!

Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F. Scrub potatoes.
- Slice the potatoes very thinly, without going all the way through.
- Alternate the butter and the parmesan, stuffing them in between the slices of the potato. Season the potato with garlic powder and kosher salt. Drizzle the potato with olive oil.
- Bake for about 45 minutes or until tender. Remove from the oven and drizzle heavy cream over the potatoes. Top with cheddar cheese.
- Place back in the oven for 10-12 more minutes. Remove and serve hot with sour cream and chives, if desired.

French fries on crack, shut your MOUTH. Can I come live at your house? Have I asked this before?
I tried doing hasselback potatoes once and they came out horrible. I want to give it another try and yours look AMAZING — which gives me a high hopes that mine will turn out somewhat “right” this time lol
I about fell off my chair last month when I saw this recipe on Tasty Kitchen. I made them that night…. but with some smoked gouda thrown in the mix as well. This is by far the best potato recipe I’ve every made. So freaking good!!
Oh God, your picture is amazing. I’m pretty sure I could eat four of these.
I’ve had hasselback potatoes on my list for ages! Love that you added cheese. I bet adding a ton of bacon and sour cream would be awesome too!! Loaded hasselback potatoes – I need to get on that. :)
You better quit doing this to me! I love, love, love crispy skinned baked potatoes and also browned cheese. Two of my favorites in one recipe. Wow! And, I just bought 5 baking potatoes two days ago. Guess what I’m having for lunch? Yummy, yummy, yummy!!!!
These look seriously amazingly good. Just pinned this. Thanks!
I feel like I need to have myself a separate Thanksgiving dinner at home before venturing out of town to see family on actual Thanksgiving day. There are too many awesome recipes like this! Mmmm cheese!
I made some without cheese last year and have dreamt about them ever since. That cheese almost made me fall out of my chair!
I’ve made hasselback potatoes before. They were really good but there sound out of control.
Wow! These look absolutely awesome! I will have to try these. Potatoes and cheese…can’t beat the combination!
Holy cheesy topped deliciousness!
Shut it. My husband would eat that in about 3 bites. I would have to guard my plate from him because he’d turn to mine next.
Beautiful and omg that cheese… I have been wanting to try hasselback potatoes and this post finally gave me the push I needed! I have got to make these with dinner tonight, my bf will be so happy haha
This has got to be one of the most beautiful, delicious things I have ever seen! <3 I have never met a potato I didn't like and this looks fabulous. I had actually never heard of hasselback potatoes until now, awesome nugget of new information, haha.
