Garlic Hasselback Potatoes
Ingredients
• 4 large Russet potatoes (about 2 pounds), scrubbed and dried
• 4 tablespoons Garlic Gold Extra Virgin Olive Oil infused with garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Garlic Gold Nuggets
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 425F and line a 9-by-13 baking dish with aluminum foil.
- Make 1/4” slices crosswise along the full length of each potato, making sure not to slice through the bottom. You can lay a flat-handled utensil next to the potato to use as a slicing guide to prevent from cutting all the way down to the board.
- Place the potatoes in the lined baking dish, then brush two tablespoons of the Garlic Gold Oil evenly over the potatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then place in the oven and let bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven, brushing with the last two tablespoons of Garlic Gold Oil. If the potatoes have not started to come apart a bit, pry the slices apart gently with a paring knife to ensure that some oil gets in between each slice.
- Cook the potatoes for an additional 40 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Sprinkle liberally with Garlic Gold Nuggets and serve hot.
