Hasselback Potatoes

Delicious and beautiful- they turn golden and fan out during baking. Wonderful side for a holiday dinner with beef, pork or lamb.

• Ready In: 1 hr 45 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 6  medium baking potatoes, peeled
• 1⁄4 cup butter, melted
• 1⁄2 cup  whipping cream
• 2  tablespoons  shredded swiss cheese (or Parmesan)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. Put a chopstick or pencil along each long side of the potato so you don't cut through to the counter. Using a sharp knife, cut potatoes almost through cross-wise in 1/8” thick slices. Place in ice water to prevent darkening.
3. Drain well and put in shallow baking pan. Brush with butter (or drizzle).
4. Bake until tender- about 1-1/2 hours, basting occasionally with cream and pan drippings. Sprinkle with cheese in last few minutes.
