Course Side Dish
Cuisine American
Prep Time 10 minutes
4 potatoes
Cheesy melt in your mouth hasselback potatoes you'll want to make every day.

Equipment

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • basting brush optional
  • chopsticks or wooden spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 4 potatoes
  • ½ cup butter unsalted
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 8 ounces cheddar cheese thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Wash and dry potatoes.

  • Slice potatoes into ¼ inch slices, being careful not to slice all the way through the bottom of the potato. Lay the flattest side of the potato down on the cutting board and put chopsticks or wooden spoons on either side of the potato. Use a knife to make slices all the way down to the chopsticks or spoon, which will prevent the knife from going through the bottom of the potato.

  • Baste the outside of the potato with butter and generously baste the inside of the potato slices with butter as well.

  • Cook at 350°F for 30-40 minutes. Total time cooking will vary based on the size of potatoes, the size of the slices, and how many potatoes are in your machine. Potatoes are done cooking when your fork can easily poke the potato and not meet resistance.
