They make for a perfect lunch or side dish. Cook them in the oven, or if you have the weather for it, on the barbecue. I like to finish them off with garlic butter. I’ve included some notes on how to veganise this recipe below!

How to make Hasselback Potatoes

Once you try this method of cooking jacket potatoes or roast potatoes, you’ll never look back. Hasselback potatoes are extremely easy to make. Simply hold a potato at one end, and carefully slice thin sections about two-thirds the way down. You can use a wooden spoon or a pair of chopsticks to ensure you don’t slice all the way through. A sharp knife is essential. Don’t worry if your cuts aren’t perfect though. Hasselback potatoes are very forgiving and once they crisp up in the oven, some of the uneven slits will be less noticeable.

Why Hasselback your spuds?

Creating slits across the surface of the potato encourages the skins to become crispy in the oven. It also serves the purpose of absorbing oils and marinades. As a result, the baked potatoes are both golden and flavoursome. Double win!

How to veganise these Tandoori Hasselback Potatoes

Simply switch the yoghurt for your favourite dairy-free alternative. I like soy yoghurt but coconut yoghurt also works well.Omit the cheese or use a vegan mozzarella alternative.Use plant-based spread or vegan butter for the garlic butter. It works just as well.

What kind of potatoes should I use?

Any kind of baking potato is perfect for this recipe. You can even use some of the smaller, waxier potatoes if you wish. Red potatoes also make for great hasselbacks. I use Maris Piper Potatoes here.
