Ingredients
Garlic Herb Butter Mixture:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1–2 tbsp minced garlic
- ¼ cup parsley, chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
Potatoes:
- Golden potatoes (medium size), cleaned and thinly sliced Hasselback-style
- Olive oil (for coating)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Garlic Herb Butter
- Combine the melted butter, garlic, parsley, chives, thyme, rosemary, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika in a small bowl.
- Set aside to let the flavors blend while you prep the potatoes.
Step 2: Prep the Potatoes
- Thinly slice each potato across the top, stopping just before cutting all the way through (Hasselback-style).
- Toss the potatoes in olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.
- Arrange on a baking sheet or in a cast iron skillet.
Step 3: First Bake
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Bake the potatoes for 45 minutes, until the layers begin to fan out and the edges get crispy.
Step 4: Add the Herb Butter
- Remove the potatoes from the oven.
- Carefully spoon the garlic herb butter into every crevice of the sliced potatoes.
- Place small slices of butter into the layers if needed for extra richness.
Step 5: Final Bake
- Serve immediately while hot and buttery.
- Return the potatoes to the oven.
- Bake for another 20–25 minutes, or until the tops are deeply golden and the insides are tender.
Pro Tips & Serving Suggestions
- Keep it Hassel-Free: Use chopsticks (or wooden spoons) on either side of the potato while slicing to prevent cutting all the way through. It keeps the base intact and your layers flawless.
- Bring the Cheese: Sprinkle grated parmesan or shredded cheddar over the top during the last 10 minutes of baking. Expect bubbling, golden perfection.
- Garnish Like You Mean It: Right before serving, hit it with a shower of fresh chives or parsley for that vibrant, herbaceous finish. It’s the little things.
- Indulge in the Experience: These potatoes shine with grilled steak, roasted chicken, or as the star side on your holiday table. Serve them hot, stand back, and soak up the compliments.
