Hasselback Potatoes

Directions

1. 1
   To prep the potatoes, slice almost all the way through the potato in short intervals, but not all the way to the cutting board. Place the potato in between two chopsticks and the chopsticks will stop the knife from cutting all the way through to the cutting board.
2. 2
   Slide the garlic slivers in between the slices of potato. Drizzle olive oil on top and sprinkle them with salt and pepper. You could also add a little butter to the top if you prefer.
3. 3
   Bake in a 425°F oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the center of the potato is tender. You can cover them with foil for the last 15 minutes to keep the outside from getting too crispy.
