Ain’t no Hasselback girl

You may be asking what Hasselback Potatoes are and that’s a good question, lets get into it. The name Hasselback comes from a restaurant in Stockholm, Sweden named Hasselbacken. The Hasselback method, simply put, is where potatoes, or whatever else your heart desires, are cut into thin slices that don’t go all the way through that are then stuffed with things like cheese, vegetables, or meat. Not only does it look impressive but it’s easy to do!

Gouda to meet you

Now half the fun of Hasselback potatoes is throwing in your favorite cheese in the potatoes and making some magic. Dan likes Provolone in his but if we may recommend some cheese, we’d recommend a nice gouda. Gouda is a sweet, creamy, yellow cow’s milk cheese originating from the Netherlands. It’s the perfect companion to potatoes, and pairs very well with the onions in this recipe. Of course, half the fun of cooking is experimenting. So we recommend that you play around with some different cheeses till you find one that suits you and your potatoes’ needs.
