Potatoes are an integral part of many grilled dishes. This time we invite you to prepare them a little differently - the way the Swedes prepare them. Hasselback potatoes are their national dish.
Although it sounds complicated, do not hesitate and try our proposed recipe. It is completely simple, and the reason for its impressive popularity is its beautiful cut and presentation.
By the way, you can prepare Swedish potatoes not only as a side dish, but also as a separate dish. Just put cheese, bacon in the gaps at the end of cooking, pour your favorite sauce and you will have a rich, delicious, attractive lunch or dinner.
Ingredients
- 6 medium potatoes
- 6 p.m. oil/melted butter
- 3 cloves of garlic
- A pinch of salt
- Black pepper, thyme/rosemary to taste.
Preparation
- Place the potato between 2 skewers/sticks/forks. Cut it crosswise into narrow slices. The inserted skewers will not allow you to cut the potato all the way through
- After cutting the potato, pour oil/butter, finely chopped garlic and spices into the spaces between the slices.
- Wrap in foil and place in a fire or grill.
- Bake, depending on the heat and the size of the potato - from 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- At the end of cooking, you can open the top of the foil and put fermented cheese or chopped bacon on the cut slices, sprinkle with butter, pour sauce (optional), sprinkle with chopped onion leaves, dill or other herbs. A potato cooked in this way will be both very tasty and attractive.
- Try other spices: rosemary, sage, cumin and other herbs go well with potatoes.
