Potatoes look good Jo. Nice and crispy brown on top.
ReplyDeleteJust a hint for you .... if you put a chopstick on each side when cutting the potato your slices won't go right through, so the potato stays intact at the base. Found out when I wanted to make hasselback potatoes one time.:)

Yes I use a chopstick when making hassleback potatoes - I cut these through so they fan and the stock soaks up into more of the potato.
ReplyDeleteThanks K8 :)
Happy cooking - Jo xx
