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 did in fact originate at the restaurant.
