Aren't hasselback potatoes just gorgeous?? I love how pretty they are. The recipe takes plain potatoes and elevates them to a dish that's a little more fancy and a lot more flavorful.
Plus, all the little slices get nice and crispy in the oven so each bite is crunch and salty and delicious.
Load 'em up with your favorite toppings and ooh they are so good!
Why would you even want to make hasselback potatoes without oil?
A few reasons.
One. Oil is not a whole food. Oil is made from processing a vegetable until it changes from its whole food state to an oil.
Two. Oil adds extra calories. Calories aren't something to be afraid of BUT we should be considering where our calories come from. One tablespoon of oil has 120 calories. Imagine adding just 1/2 tablespoon to a medium potato (about 160 calories). You'd add 60 calories, making over 25% of your calories from oil! ( 60 / ( 160 + 60 ) = 27% )
Three. Many oils that you might use are extremely terrible for you. These oils contain trans fats and saturated fats.
Here's the thing: losing the oil doesn't make the dish taste bad. These hasselback potatoes are incredibly delicious! Add some coconut bacon and vegan sour cream and you've got yourself an incredible dish.
Step 1. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
Step 2. Cut the potatoes into thin slices, leaving 1/4 of the potato intact at the bottom.
Step 3. Arrange the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 45-50 minutes, until the skins of the potatoes are starting to brown.
Step 4. Remove from the oven, serve and enjoy! Best served warm.
Step 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2. Mix the bacon ingredients in a small bowl.
Step 3. Spread the coconut onto the baking sheet and bake for 7-10 minutes, until the bacon is brown and crispy. Watch for burning - coconut can go from perfectly done to burnt very quickly!
Step 4. Let cool on the baking sheet.
Thank you God for these potatoes. Thank you for giving us food that nourishes our bodies. Amen.
