Hasselback Potatoes with Paleo Sour Cream Recipe

Potatoes themselves do not come from Stockholm or Ireland, they originate from Peru and northwestern Bolivia, but they have made a large impact on dining around the world.

Hasselback potatoes were created in Sweden some multi-decades ago as a restaurant attempt to make a special dish that ended up being slightly crispy on the outside and creamier on the inside.

In simplest terms, they are cut like an accordion or fan and roasted in the oven with butter, salt, and pepper on top.

It isn't a variety of potatoes but rather a style of cooking that defines them, and as far as spices go, you are only limited to your imagination and what herbs are in your cupboards.

You can use any potato you like, but be sure to use medium size potatoes, and not larger, to keep each potato at a single serving size.

We recommend peeling the potatoes as well because that’s where the potential toxins are at, but if you can get organic or heirloom varieties at a local market, then you can eat them with the skins on. Either way, they will taste delicious.

You can serve Hasselback potatoes as an appetizer to just about any meal, but we really love them with a nice juicy ribeye steak or mustard-crusted chicken drumsticks.

And don't forget the light cucumber and carrot salad, for sometimes it is nice to have a complete meal, just as if you were dining out at a restaurant!
