Directions
Spicy Hasselback Potatoes, These are a lot more interesting than plain roasted or jacket potatoes They’re perfect to serve with a roast and easy to do As the potatoes cook the slices fan out so, as well as tasting great, they look pretty too!, It’s rare to find the perfect recipe that doesn’t tempt you to tweak it and that’s what this is Italy is not known for it’s baker potatoes (I’m from the Pacific Northwest, hence spoiled); but this technique turns any old potato into something special Thanks from the bottom of my potato-loving heart!
