Description
Crispy Spicy Hasselback Potatoes are a delicious and visually appealing side dish. Thinly sliced potatoes are roasted with a smoky, spicy seasoning blend for a perfect balance of flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 medium Yukon Gold or red potatoes
- 2 1/2 tbsp olive oil (or melted butter)
- 1 1/2 tsp paprika (smoked paprika is amazing)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4–1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly grease a baking dish.
- Slice each potato accordion-style (thin slices, not cutting all the way through). Tip: place chopsticks or wooden spoons on both sides of the potato to prevent slicing through.
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne.
- Brush or rub the seasoning mixture all over the potatoes, working it between slices as much as possible.
- Arrange potatoes in the baking dish and roast 40–50 minutes, basting once halfway through, until tender inside and crispy on the edges.
- Serve hot—extra seasoning dusted on top is optional!
Notes
- Use smoked paprika for deeper flavor.
- Adjust cayenne pepper for desired spice level.
- Basting halfway ensures crispiness.
