Hasselback potatoes basted with Chilli - garlic & herbs butter




Recipe By Supriya Mengi Kumaria
Image source Tried By Archana Jain From Sikandalous Cuisine

Love potatoes the Swedish way, Hasselback potatoes basted with Chilli - garlic & herbs butter !!

This how I made it:

6 Potatoes washed & peeled preferably bigger in size
1/2 cup butter melted
4-5 cloves of garlic crushed
Chilli flakes
Herbs of your choice - I used rosemary
Salt & freshly cracked pepper

Method:
1) Preheat Oven at 200 degrees
2) Make cuts in the potatoes, making sure that you don't cut it through. We want it to be intact.
3) Melt butter - add garlic, chilli flakes, herbs, salt & pepper. Let it stand for few mins, so that the flavours get infused.
4) Put potatoes on your baking dish and brush it with the butter mixture & in between the slices.
5) Sprinkle some more salt on top
6) it goes into the oven for 40 - 45 minutes till you get nice golden colour.

And it's done! Super easy
