I love Hasselback potatoes after seeing another blogger make them. Check out my inspiration here! For my dish, I wanted something that I could easily control the portion size and the amount of servings I needed. I also wanted a recipe that I could easily repeat whenever I wanted.
As I was pondering all of this, my Green Bean delivery came and inside were these beautiful purple baby potatoes. I knew immediately that I was going to make Hasselback potatoes and that it fit all of my criteria.
The Hasselback potato is named for the Swedish hotel of the same name where the recipe was invented in the 1950s. I've not been there, but I'd surely like to go!
These potatoes are so easy and look so gorgeous on the plate.
