Made as written using cheddar cheese. We loved these potatoes and now DH will be asking for them often. The only alteration I made was to sprinkle on some thinly sliced green onion at the same time as I was adding the cheese. I could make a whole meal out of one of these babies!<br/>Loved the tip about using the wooden spoon too - Thanks for posting - Made for The Bistro Babes ZWT*

Cut the recipe in half but like Breezermom I left the butter sauce the same only adding a little more garlic and topped the potatoes with sharp cheddar cheese and basted about every 15-20 minutes...yummy! Definately will make again. Served with ham, broccoli and sauteed apples. Made for Zaar Cookbook Tag.

We had a pig roast over the weekend and I had a lot of baked potatoes left over. I made this tonight but didn't have to bake the potatoes. I actually cooked the whole thing in the microwave. I added the butter mixture and cooked for two minutes. I then added the cheese and cooked another minute. Everyone enjoyed these. I did cut back the pepper just a bit due to personal preference. I also didn't peel my potatoes. Loved the look and taste of these.

Loved the presentation on this. I used a disposable chopstick when cutting, so as not to ruin my wooden spoon. Worked well. I used shallots instead of garlic and even though I minced them well, it was hard to get them in between the slices. I would use a bit less butter next time, as there was a little too much oiliness for me.

Love hasselback potatoes and I made just the one for lunch for myself and served with a gardem salad. I used Carisma potatoes (which are low GI) and left the skin on and used fresh minced garlic instead of garlic powder and a mix of sharp cheddar and parmesan for the cheese, my potato was on the small side so only took just less than an hour all up to cook, the only change I would make when making again is to put a spinkle of paprika on the cheese, mainly because I love paprika on melted cheese, thank you momaphet, made for I Recommend tag game and recommended by AZPARZYCG.
