Hasselback potatoes

Hasselback potatoes or Potato à la Hasselbacken (Swedish: hasselbackspotatis) are a type of baked potato that is cut about halfway through into thin, fan-like slices.

They can be served as a main course,[1] side dish, or canapé.[2][3] Various toppings can be added, such as caraway seeds, paprika, and bread crumbs.[4]

Origins

Hasselback potatoes may have been created in 1953 by Leif Elisson, a trainee chef at Hasselbacken restaurant on Djurgården, Stockholm.[5]

However, there is a recipe for "Oven Fried Potatoes (Hasselback Potatoes )" in the 1929 "Prinsessornas kokbok" (The Cookbook of Princesses) by Jenny Åkerström,[6] leading to some question as to whether the recipe does in fact originate at the restaurant.
