Mini Hasselback Potatoes
These beauties are ridiculously cute. But, and better still, they’re absolutely delicious too. We’ll get into the seasoning in just a sec, but first things first:
How to cut hasselback potatoes
You’ll want to make slices along the potatoes around 1/16″-1/8″ apart. It’s important to make sure you don’t go all the way down or they’ll fall apart. Start at one end and carefully make your way along. Some recipes suggest placing two wooden spoons either side to ensure you don’t slice all the way down, but I find baby potatoes vary in size quite a lot, so this method isn’t great if they’re more round shaped. A steady hand and a sharp knife will do the trick 🙂
Hasselback Potato Seasoning
For this recipe I use sage and onion. Sage and onion is a glorious combo, one that isn’t often used as potato seasoning, but it truly works! Here’s a few other tried and tested seasoning combos:
Garlic Powder, Paprika, Thyme, Cayenne Pepper (from my Baked Potato Wedges) Smoked Paprika, Cayenne Pepper, Onion & Garlic Powder (from my Spicy Potatoes) Fresh Rosemary, Thyme and Garlic (from my Roasted Baby Potatoes)
At their absolute heart you can just use a heavy helping of salt and pepper, or experiment with seasoning of your choice! Alongside the seasoning we’re going in with melted butter, just because you know, melted butter… Process shots: melt butter (photos 1), add seasoning (photo 2), stir to combine (photo 3).
Right, baby potatoes hasselbacked, seasoning done, time to combine the two. Once you’ve combined the potatoes with the seasoned butter, space them out on a baking tray. It’s important you space them out or they’ll steam and won’t go crispy. From there, I like to head back to the bowl you mixed everything in and drizzle some oil. You’ll find there will be a notable amount of seasoning left in the bowl, which we certainly don’t want to waste. Use a brush to scrape out the seasoning and brush over the potatoes before you bake. Process shots: slice potatoes (photo 1), mix with seasoned butter (photo 2), brush bowl with oil (photo 3), brush over potatoes and bake (photo 4).

I usually serve these in a finger food context with a dip (pictured below is sour cream and chive). But you can also serve them as side dish to a main. Up to you! If you like the sound of these baby hasselback potatoes then make sure you check out these beauties too!
