LOADED HASSELBACK POTATOES & DIP RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
• Cut the potatoes widthwise about ⅛ inch (8 mm) apart, and ¼ inch (6 mm) from the bottom.
• Soak the potatoes in water for at least 15-20 minutes to remove some of the starch in the potatoes and to allow the cuts to open wider.
• In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese, 2 cups (200g) of cheddar, bacon, sour cream, and green onions.
• Once finished soaking, dry the potatoes off and place them around the inner rim of a larger cast-iron skillet.
• Heavily brush the potatoes with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
• Place the skillet in the oven for an hour, or until the potatoes are cooked through and crispy on the top.
• Once finished, fill the middle of the skillet with the bacon cheddar dip.
• Top with the remaining cheddar cheese.
• Continue baking at 400˚F (200˚C) for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden brown .
• Enjoy!

LOADED HASSELBACK POTATO RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Lay 2 chopsticks about 2-3 inches apart on a cutting board.
• Place a potato lengthwise between the chopsticks, making sure the potato touches the cutting board.
• Make ¼-inch slices across the potato, making sure you do not cut through the bottom of the potato. The chopsticks will help serve as a bumper of sorts to prevent this from happening. Repeat with the second potato.
• Transfer the potatoes to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then brush the butter evenly on both of the potatoes.
• Sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper on top of the potatoes, then bake for about 30 minutes until the slices of each potato have started to separate and crisp up. To have a better separation between the slices, pull the slices apart before they are baked.
• Remove the potatoes and lower the oven heat to 350°F (180°C).
• Place a square of cheddar cheese in between the slits in the potatoes, then return to the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and starting to bubble.
• Garnish each potato with a dollop of sour cream, bacon, and green onions.
• Serve and enjoy!

HASSELBACK POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Clean the potatoes with skins on. Cut slits on top of each potato approximately 1/8 inch apart (careful not to go all the way through). [Chop sticks or wooden spoons along each side will help prevent cutting all the way through the potato.] Place on baking sheet.
• Place a garlic sliver between each slit. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil.
• Bake 1 hour. Baste with pan oil then bake another 30 minutes. [The potatoes will gently arch as the slits slightly fan out making for a pretty as well as tasty presentation.].
