This might be the best baked potato ever. A hasselback or fan potato delivers on fun and flavor and is easy to make.
When choosing a potato to bake, the Idaho Potato Commission recommends an Idaho Russet Burbank due to its high starch content and low moisture. For slicing we recommend a 7 5/8" Petite Chef Knife or 7" Santoku Knife, which are large enough to accommodate large potatoes and sharp enough to make smooth, even slices.
Ingredients
- 1 Idaho Russet Burbank Potato
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper for taste
- Bacon and scallions (optional)
Directions
- Place chopsticks on both sides of a clean potato and make even slices to a consistent depth.
- Place cut potato in a bowl of cold water to rinse and fan slices.
- Drizzle the potato with olive oil.
- Season to taste with salt, pepper and other preferred seasoning.
- Bake at 375°For 40-50 minutes.
- 6. Garnish with toppings and serve. (We used bacon and scallions.)
