Looking for a show-stopping side dish that’s crispy, cheesy, and loaded with flavor? These Parmesan Hasselback Potatoes are a delicious addition to any meal! With thinly sliced potatoes baked to perfection, topped with melted Parmesan and served with a creamy garlic sauce, this recipe is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
Wash and dry the potatoes. Place a potato between two chopsticks to prevent cutting through the base. Slice thin cuts across the potato, stopping when the knife hits the chopsticks. Repeat for all potatoes.
Season the Potatoes:
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, chili flakes, Italian herbs, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Brush the seasoned oil mixture generously over the potatoes, ensuring it seeps into the cuts.
Bake the Potatoes:
Place the potatoes on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and golden.
Add the Parmesan:
Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle grated Parmesan generously over the tops.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Prepare the Sauce:
While the potatoes bake, combine crème fraîche, milk, agave syrup, minced garlic, salt, and chili flakes in a bowl. Mix well until smooth.
Serve the Hasselback potatoes hot, drizzled with the garlic sauce or with the sauce on the side for dipping.
