Charcoal Companion CC2031 Hassel Back Potato Prep Set - Brown

Product Information

The edges around the slicer ensure perfectly deep cuts and stop the knife from slicing through the whole potato. By using my useful kitchen hack of chopsticks placed on either side of the potato when slicing, it doesn’t allow the knife to cut entirely through the potato and keeps them together. Hasselbacking doesn't just stop at potatoes either, you can try it with butternut squash, carrots or beetroot. Here you can choose to accept all of the cookies or customise which cookies you accept and which you do not.

Place the potato on the flat cut side and using chop sticks or wooden spoons, place one on either side of the potato lengthwise. Place on a chopping board, skewer-side down, and slice through the potato (be careful not to cut all the way through on both ends). Any potatoes can be used for Hasselbacks, but fluffy varieties such as Maris Pipers will work best for a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.

I had no idea they started in Sweden when a trainee chef, Lief Ellison made them at Hasselbacken Restaurant in 1954.One way to inject flavour into your potatoes is to toss them in homemade infused oil before they go into the oven. I have also cooked as a gratin using heavy cream and gruyere cheese but you need to lower the cook temp and cook a bit longer to avoid separating the cream. Just like mashed or twice baked potatoes, this hasselback potato side dish is delicious with grilled ribeye steak and grilled corn on the cob.

The guided slots on this handy, simply designed tool mean you don't need to worry about the gaps between cuts being uneven.

Whilst slits made closer together result in a more impressive outcome, it's a lengthier and more fiddly process than fewer and wider spaced slits.

Once I wash my potato, I pierce it with the guide and use my knife and the guide’s prongs to cut the potato, over and over again, going from right to left. In my opinion, any dinner — big or small, casual or fancy — can only be improved with the addition of Hasselback potatoes. Roast for 50 mins -1 hr until the potatoes are tender throughout and the tops are golden and crisp, basting with any oil in the pan halfway through cooking. Covering the outside of the potato with fat before baking helps the seasonings to stick, and it also creates crispier potatoes!

Pretty much every top I have from Vince has been purchased at Nordstrom Anniversary and they quickly become my favorite pieces all year long. It’s the kind of thing that looks impressive, but is surprisingly easy to do, thanks to my trusty Potato Guide — making it perfect for a weeknight side, but fancy enough for company. A little labor intensive for what they were, but, it was my first time and I am a novice cook at best, so I have a feeling when I do it again, I can do a few things to make it my own! We brushed them with butter before, during, and after baking, sprinkle with salt and pepper fresh parley.

How about the fact that despite their frilly fancy-pants appearance, hasselback potatoes take no more time and little more effort than your average foil-wrapped baked potato. To infuse your oil, simply place fresh herbs, pared lemon zest, garlic cloves or chilli (or all 4) in a few cm of oil in a small pan. Larger potatoes can be peeled or left unpeeled (just make sure they're scrubbed of any dirt), and new potatoes left unpeeled.
