How to Make Hasselback Potatoes

[mukwah1111]

Witty, charming & intelligent - your vids & recipes are a pleasure. No avoiding the testosterone remarks from the guys but thats to be expected I guess? I make Hasselbacks on the BBQ often - cut, soaked, buttered, seasoned, wrapped in foil on the upper grill rack. They are always a special treat. Oh and for more decadence...aged grated cheddar strewn about. Thanks for some really outstanding recipes. All the best

[Fathercoffee]

I would say cook this for 1 1/2 hours instead of 60 min.

[macchef01]

I could watch you read the phone book. you're absolutely charming.

[chobitfan48]

i their called it because it such a hassel to cut their backs lol

[superbjorn]

A Swedish trick is to put the potato on a wooden spoon while cutting it. If you can figure it out, it's way easier :)

[averagebetty]

@superbjorn going to get spoon potato and knife...

[TheViciousVendetta]

HOW is your hair so gorgeous? ♥

[rostant999]

mashed potatoes are my favourite - i get cravings for them

[averagebetty]

@rostant999 Mmm Me too!

[MrJingjong]

Ok, now how do you make Hasselhoff potatoes?

[averagebetty]

@MrJingjong Similar to Hoffepeno Poppers... you just have to put on a red bathing suit when you make them.

[Skyliner6000]

The best russet potatoes are grown in Washington. This recipe is amazing with a Washington grown russet. WOW!!!!!

[EvanC0912]

i love this potato!

[Brulluhman]

cooked, boiled in water with a little bit of salt for 10 minutes. Or fried.. have the oil pan 180 degrees celcius.. when the french fries go up.. they are done. With some mayonnaise..

[SarahAndJustSarah]

lol on the thumbnail i thought it was an enormous patato

[aNdYmAtTeR]

@averagebetty

I'm born a few blocks away from Restaurant Hasselbacken ((the) Hazel hill) but then I moved to Gothenburg when I was 3. Hasselbackspotatis were actually invented out of necessity in the rough times during the 1940ies ultimately due to the activities of a silly austrian man with a little moustache. So they're not from 1700s. But they are SOOO YUMMY!!!! I've already had dinner tonight but I've gotta do Hasselbackspotatis tomorrow!

[MrGhris]

Made this 2 times now. First time was perfect, second time was a little bit too raw. But still very enjoyable! Thanks for this great recipe

[averagebetty]

@MrGhris Awesome! My pleasure :)

[TheSweetestVegan]

Michigan grows potatoes! 

[sangreiti]

im going to be honest. im irish, if its a potato, im going to love it.

[Belson476]

That was awesome. Just don't try to be funny. Ever.

[cpcheat101]

"IM BRINGIN HASSLEBACK YEH!"

[vandercocky]

@cpcheat101 LOL

[Obajek]

[monique5714335]

I made these last night and my husband and I LOVED them!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks sooooo much for the tips!!!

[averagebetty]

@monique5714335 WooooHoooo! So happy to hear that - thanks for letting me know :)

[averagebetty]

@glitterbunny143 You are so sweet :) Thank you!!

[PrincessSushii]

They're called Hasselback because the -en at the end of hasselbacken is like the English "the", so calling them Hasselbacken Potatoes would be like saying they're THE hasselback potatoes... which in unnecessary. And weird. /knows things

[averagebetty]

@PrincessSushii Wow - thanks for the info on Hasselbacken v Hasselback. I like to call twitter "the twitter" and youtube "the youtube" but only because I think it's funny and unnecessary :)

[bluewalls88]

how long do you bake them for?



[averagebetty]

@bluewalls88 Thanks for watching - All the recipe details are on my site :)

[Biggbubby]

oh, betty, i love you.

[stinky242]

I like to say, "NO! I Da Ho". Makes me smile. I'm gonna make these.

[averagebetty]

@stinky242 omg! I LOLd when I read this - I can't believe I didn't reply!! I guess because I told the people I was with and then had to explain it to them... So funny! No, I Da Ho!

[diamondwindstorm993]

Oh my gosh I just noticed it looks like a lobster tail! Looks so good! Must try it next time I buy potatoes!

[averagebetty]

@diamondwindstorm993 It totally looks like a lobster tail! I heard about a chef that made a lobster etouffee he served over the hasselback. I bet it was amazing :)

[Stunttater2010]

Love this version of a very old traditional potato recipe. I see comments that someone else has done a different style or added bread crumbs. That's the beauty of re-inventing a classic and being able to personalize it. The Idaho Russet Burbank variety was not invented till 100 years after this recipe was served at the hotel, but in the true spirit of creativity this russet works great in the recipe.

[briackman]

no more justin timberlake for you sara

[impalapez]

home fries jersey diner style

[averagebetty]

@impalapez I've always loved Jersey ;)

[santosbl01]

Your doing it wrong. Hasselback potatoes have BREAD CRUMBS on them!!!!!

[averagebetty]

@santosbl01 You're just doing it differently. Maybe we're both wrong?

[santosbl01]

@averagebetty That would be mad!

[metronomic1]

As long as they are not Elizabeth Hasselback potatoes. She needs to stop breathing pronto.

[0moooaaath0]

why I am watching this?? I think i have to go to MAC

[cheffrankmiller]

Yeah - nice! I love the tip about using two cutting boards to cut the potatoes!

You rock!

FM

[averagebetty]

@cheffrankmiller Thanks, Chef!!

[PineappleKiwi280]

your eyebrows are different.

[averagebetty]

@PineappleKiwi280 LOL you want perfection from someone called averagebetty?

[wannabetvchef]

Mmm. Hasselback.

[averagebetty]

@wannabetvchef I can tell your mouth is full LOL ;)

[uleexxx]

I like the potatoes. And your hair too :)

[averagebetty]

@uleexxx Oh thank you! (flips hair) :D

[moofushu]

Gives me an idea. This would be a perfect process for plantains served with a Latin American ceviche. Thanks!

[averagebetty]

@moofushu That sounds amazing!! I love your creativity!

[seti351]

Look at my girl carving a lobster tail out of a potato! : ) Lovin' the knife skills hon! lol And speaking of lobster tails, that's my favorite way to eat potatoes...as part of a New England clam bake. : )

[averagebetty]

@seti351 Potatoes are definitely the best with lobster tails. Everything's better with lobster :)

[urbanburglary]

Those look SO GOOD. I'm the pickiest eater ever, but I love anything with potatoes.

Except potato salad.

[averagebetty]

@urbanburglary Thank you! You must not like mayonnaise?

[Limster17]

baked potato loaded with sour cream, cheese and bacon!

[averagebetty]

@Limster17 I had one of those last night for dinner :)

[singingislife18]

Could I use sweet potatoes? My family doesn't eat white potatoes.

[averagebetty]

@singingislife18 You can definitely use sweet potatoes -- I bet it would be terrific :)

[singingislife18]

@averagebetty Awesome! Thanks!

[LSE200]

I am bringing Hasselback yea!!, hahaha you are awesome Sara :)

[averagebetty]

@LSE200 Oh! You are the awesome one <3

[ilovemusicyoume]

A cool way to cook potatoes!! And my favorite way to eat potatoes is potato skins with lots of sour cream!! Yummy huh??

[averagebetty]

@ilovemusicyoume I love potato skins too! Totally yummy!!

[InternetRock]

Nice Shoes Girl.

[averagebetty]

@InternetRock Oh my ;) Thanks for noticing...

[OffKilterLeather]

Ok, po'rk boy sammiches, emergency fish tacos with hassleback potatoes on the side, and inconvenient ice cream for desert!! Sounds like dinner to me!! :)

[averagebetty]

@OffKilterLeather LOL!!! That sounds like a feast :)

[jstnhnh]

I cut them up and steam them.

[averagebetty]

@jstnhnh Simple and healthy -- I like it!!

[weeknightingale]

Fantastic!

[averagebetty]

@weeknightingale Thank you! <3

[acf870]

i love chowder

[averagebetty]

@acf870 Me too!

[catfishmudflap]

Dear Sara, This will be my new favorite way to eat potatoes. I used to bake them then fry slices after cooling and add a little vinegar. Your recipe sound much more delicious. Best wishes. XOX.

[averagebetty]

@catfishmudflap Your way sounds like a vinegar potato chip kinda - YUM! This is pretty much my new way to eat potatoes -- so simple yet the texture on the inside gets so creamy :) <3

[fabiochrist]

You are funny!

[averagebetty]

@fabiochrist You are awesome :D

[hipretty]

betty (sarah)!!!! missed your good cookin' & your sense of humour! :-)

[prettyinpunk666]

Could I use a scalloped potato sauce on this and bake them in a casserole dish rather than on a cookie sheet? I think that would be such a fancy way to serve scalloped potatoes.

[averagebetty]

@prettyinpunk666 You absolutely can! That's a great idea - and so fancy... enemies will definitely become friends! xoxo

[IvyWippit]

are you the doctor's voice from zoo vet?

[averagebetty]

@IvyWippit LOL No -- but I play a doctor on TV... OK Just kidding :)

[IvyWippit]

@averagebetty ohh haha she kinda sounds like you!(: loll.. haha

[MySuper2N]

I will have to try this, looks healthy tasty and super simple. Thanks.

[averagebetty]

@MySuper2N Let me know if you give it a try! Thanks for watching :)

[iloveflavor]

I LOVE the ice water w/ lemon tip! Olive oil infused with different flavors is a favorite of mine! Beautiful dish girl!

[averagebetty]

@iloveflavor Thank you so much! The lemon also helps them stay white too.

[PlatypusGuitar]

I love to take leftover boiled potatoes and pan fry them in oil and butter with salt and pepper. That simple!

[averagebetty]

@PlatypusGuitar Mmmm me too. I love taters!

[mrsbowlingballout]

I made that once for my family. They loved it ! I should make it again.... they were so good.

Nice seeing you again.

*_*

[averagebetty]

@mrsbowlingballout I'll definitely be doing these for Father's Day :) Thank you!!

[tharealtreal]

[averagebetty]

@tharealtreal  Me? Sarcastic? :D

[mylovelydame21]

[averagebetty]

@mylovelydame21 Aww thank you! I missed you too xoxo

[angrydog01]

thx for that :D you a rockstar! ^^

[averagebetty]

@angrydog01 Rockstar LOL ;)

[Smartass8504]

These look so cool. I think I may need a better/sharper knife before I try this though haha. My favorite way to eat potatoes is as garlic mashed potatoes.

[averagebetty]

@Smartass8504 Oh! I love garlic mashed too! And most definitely sharpen your knife before you try this :) -- Let me know how it goes...

[AshleyTatton]

Wooo, new Average Betty!
