Hasselback Potatoes

  • 3 russet potatoes
  • Olive oil
  • Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
  • Dried basil, to taste
  • Garlic cloves, sliced into thin slivers

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

After washing the potatoes well, thinly slice each potato, being careful not to cut all the way through. (Place the potato on a large serving spoon so you won't cut all the way through).

Season each potato with basil, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper to taste. Place a thin slice of garlic between each layer. Place the potatoes in a baking dish and drizzle with olive oil.

Bake for 1 hour or until the potato is tender. Serve with butter and sour cream if desired. Enjoy.
