HASSELBACK POTATO

THIS IS A NO RECIPE RECIPE, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE "YOU EYEBALL THE QUANTITY"!

CUT ONE SIDE OF THE POTATO TO MAKE IT STAND. PLACE 2 CHOPSTICKS ON EACH SIDE OF THE POTATO. THINLY SLICE POTATO CROSSWISE. THE CHOPSTICKS WILL PREVENT THE KNIFE TO CUT THROUGH THE POTATO.

THERE ARE A LOT OF VARIATIONS ON WHAT TO COAT THE POTATOES. MY VERSION IS A COMBINATION/MIXTURE OF FLOUR, PANKO BREADCRUMBS (MY FAVORITE), PAPRIKA, SALT AND PEPPER, GARLIC AND ONION POWDER.

COAT THE POTATO W/ OLIVE OIL, THEN THE DRY MIXTURE. GINGERLY PUT SOME OF THE MIXTURE IN BETWEEN THE SLICES.



ARRANGE POTATOES IN A BAKING DISH; COVER W/ FOIL AND BAKE FOR 30 MINUTES. REMOVE THE FOIL AND BAKE FOR ANOTHER 15 MINUTES TO MAKE IT CRISPY.

I TOPPED THE POTATO W/ COMPOUND BUTTER (CHIVES, PARSLEY). THIS WAS CRISPY AND MOIST IN THE INSIDE! YUMMY! AND NICE PRESENTATION OFCOURSE

ANOTHER VERSION W/C I MADE THANKSGIVING 2009! SIMPLE YET MOIST AND CRISPY. SPRINKLE POTATOES W/ OLIVE OIL AND ONION AND GARLIC SALT.
