Hasselback potatoes

Hasselback potatoesorPotato à la Hasselbacken(Swedish:hasselbackspotatis) are a type ofbaked potatothat is cut about halfway through into thin, fan-like slices.

They can be served as a main course,[1]side dish, orcanapé.[2][3]Various toppings can be added, such ascarawayseeds,paprika,andbread crumbs.[4]

Origins[edit]

Hasselback potatoes may have been created in 1953 by Leif Elisson, a trainee chef atHasselbackenrestaurant onDjurgården,Stockholm.[5]

However, there is a recipe for "Oven Fried Potatoes (Hasselback Potatoes )" in the 1929 "Prinsessornas kokbok" (The Cookbook of Princesses) by Jenny Åkerström,[6]leading to some question as to whether the recipe did in fact originate at the restaurant.
