Hasselback Potatoes
These fancy-ish potatoes are endlessly customizable. Top with whatever you have on hand: Bacon, onions, butter, or even caviar. Cutting slices on top of each potato allows them to cook faster and more evenly.

Ingredients
- 4-5 small yukon potatoes, peeled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 sprig of fresh thyme
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- Unsalted butter, thinly sliced (optional)
- Sliced bacon, cut into 1” pieces (optional)
- Onion, thinly sliced (optional)
Preparation
- Carefully peel the potatoes. Cut the potato crosswise into thin slices, stopping ¼” before the bottom of the potato. (Tip: Place potatoes between two chopsticks as a guide to avoid cutting all the way through.)
- Place the potatoes, olive oil, salt, fresh thyme, and paprika in the Anyday dish, tossing to coat completely.
- If stuffing the potatoes, nestle a small piece of butter, bacon and/or onion in between each slice. Cover with the lid (knob lifted). Cook in the microwave for 7 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Serving suggestions & tips
- Sprinkle the cooked potatoes with chives and crumbled feta, goat cheese, or blue cheese.
- This recipe will also work with small sweet potatoes or yams. For a sweet spin, stuff each slice with butter, brown sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
