Hasselback Tailgate Potatoes

April 8, 2016 by AJ 7 Comments

Easy tailgate potatoes

So this recipe was supposed to be about how to make some delicious ribs on the grill for game day. Then I made these hasselback tailgate potatoes and they stole the show! They are a great way to combine your favorite types of potato. They are basically a baked potato that has been pre sliced to simplify the “loading” process of loaded baked potatoes.

Thinly sliced about half way through so that the potato keeps its shape and is still whole and easy to transport. These were fun to make as well, the slicing was a little tedious but once they have baked you get to stuff cheese slices in between the slices of potato! They turned out delicious and I enjoyed them more than the standard baked potato.

We used red potatoes to make these and maybe that is why they were more delicious to me than a regular baked potato. There was a nice hint of sweetness to them which was delicious. Once they are sliced all I did was mist them with some olive oil, if you don’t have an oil mister just drizzle them and make sure they get covered to avoid burning in the oven. Then add some sea salt before baking.

These little potatoes were definitely the star of the meal and they are easy and convenient.

    These potatoes look divine. I’m a huge fan of all things cheese, and red potatoes are delish. I wish we lived close to a professional baseball team! #client
