A fabulous recipe for herb-roasted Hasselback potatoes using general purpose, NZ-grown potatoes like Desiree, Rua or Moonlight varieties.
Serves 4-6
Prep Time 10 Minutes
Cook Time 40 Minutes
Ingredients
8 medium general-purpose NZ potatoes (eg. Desiree, Rua, Moonlight)
6 sprigs fresh thyme or rosemary
8 cloves garlic
¼ cup olive oil
½ cup parmesan cheese, grated
Salt and pepper
Fresh thyme to garnish
Method
- Preheat oven to 220°C, (200°C fan-forced).
- Prepare potatoes by carefully cutting 3-5mm thick slices along each potato. You can have a wooden spoon sitting alongside the potatoes to help stop you cutting the whole way through.
- Place potatoes on a lined baking tray, or baking dish and tuck a slice of garlic and the herbs in between each potato slit – it doesn’t have to be perfect.
- Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Roast for 40 minutes, remove from oven and sprinkle with Parmesan. Roast for a further 5-10 minutes or until golden brown (larger potatoes may need slightly longer).
- Garnish with a few extra fresh herbs. Enjoy!
