The Hasselback Potatoes, also known as “accordion potatoes,” are a typical side dish of Swedish cuisine.
⏺Whole baked potatoes with the skin on which parallel cuts are made and a seasoning of spices, butter, herbs, or cheese.
⏺They owe their name to the restaurant “Hasselbacken” in Stockholm, which first presented them this way in 1953.
Hasselback is the Swedish word for “hazelnut slope,” because the restaurant was located near a hazel grove on a steep mountain.
I seasoned the Hasselback potatoes with Cyprus flake salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, and herbs.
A salt produced using the Maldon technique, from the namesake English town, which owes its characteristics to the particular slow evaporation production process.
