    Perfectly Roasted Christmas Potatoes recipe || Forget the mash, opt for the roasted hasselback this holiday season! || @thismessisours #vegan #glutenfree

    Look, I know we are about to break some rules here, but I vote that you ditch the mashed potatoes this holiday season and opt for a pan full of perfectly roasted Christmas potatoes. 

    I would have thought this idea blasphemous before I met my mashed potato hating husband too, but let me tell you these babies have actually become quite the holiday tradition at our table and no one is missing the mash.

    Slicing the potatoes this way before they're roasted causes them to fan apart leaving perfectly crisp edges and tender centers that practically melt in your mouth.

    These babies just happen to fall into a category of recipes that I call "crossover recipes". Just like crossover music blurs the lines of country and pop, crossover recipes blur the lines of breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Which basically means it doesn't matter what meal of the day you serve these up, they are always a welcome addition to the family table!

    • Author: This Mess Is Ours
    • Prep Time: 15 mins
    • Cook Time: 40 mins
    • Total Time: 55 mins
    • Yield: 6 servings 1x
    • Category: Side Dish
    • Method: Oven Roasted
    • Cuisine: Swedish

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 2 pounds baby red potatoes, scrubbed clean
    • 3 tablespoons olive oil
    • coarse kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

    Instructions

    1. Preheat the oven to 425°.
    2. Wash and dry the potatoes then place them on a cutting board on their flattest side. Working one at a time place a potato between two chopsticks, this will prevent you from slicing all the way through. With a sharp knife, slice down from top until the knife makes contact with the chopsticks. Repeat the process creating thin slices all the way down the length of the potato. Do the same with the remaining potatoes.
    3. Arrange the Hasselbacked potatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with half the olive oil and season with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes, then remove from the oven and brush with the other half of the olive oil and roast for an additional 20 minutes until the slices are fanning apart and crisp on the edges while the potatoes are tender in the middle.

    How do you get crispy roast potatoes?

    Soaking the potatoes in water before cooking will remove a lot of the starch, making a crispier potato. Cook the potatoes longer in the oven if they're still mushy.

    Which potatoes are best for roasting?

    Yukon Gold and Red Potatoes are the most popular roasting potatoes. However any potato can be tasty when roasted.

      I made these to go with a standing rib roast. I doubled the recipe for a large group and probably needed to roast them longer. Added chopped fresh rosemary and garlic and they were delicious. My nephew peeled the layers off like potato chips. Definitely a keeper recipe.

        Unfortunately, I have never made these in a toaster oven and since they vary so much from model to model I am afraid that it would be impossible to give you ann accurate recipe conversion.
