Baked potatoes! Every kid loves them, and they are so easy to cook. It is time to take potatoes to a whole new level with this easy Hasselback potato recipe! We found some fun potatoes at our farmer's market today. Now, we love potatoes, and I know this is one thing I can buy that my kids will always eat.

In the past, I have made some delicious potato recipes like these Cheesy Bacon Potatoes and these ornate Potato Roses.

Could I make a pizza out of this concept? Would it even work with mini potatoes? I have to think this will be easy because it is so easy to slice potatoes thinly.

If you love potatoes as much as we do, check out these delicious gluten free side dish recipes!

The best potatoes to use:

I tend to use a waxy potato variety when I make this recipe. The slices are crispier after baking than a starchy potato. Waxy potatoes have a lot less starch, and this will prevent your Hasselback potatoes from getting mushy.

  1. Red Bliss potatoes
  2. New potatoes (This is the type of potato I used for this recipe)
  3. Yukon Gold potatoes are a nice potato that is between starchy and waxy.

Instructions:

a potato sliced thinly hassleback style

First, I made thin slices of the little potatoes. Make sure you don't cut all the way through to the bottom. (*Note: the thinner you slice the potatoes, the crispier the potato slices will be.)

Next, use a teaspoon to drizzle in the marinara sauce between each slice. Add a few fresh basil leaves, too! Now is also a good time to sprinkle some salt, pepper, and hot peppers (if you like it spicy!)

Finally, add some organic shredded mozzarella between each sliced potato layer. It can be tricky to smush cheese into each sliced layer without breaking the potato. Don't worry if it breaks. I actually broke two slices off when I was making these. They still cook and taste yummy!

Blooper Alert!! Don't worry if the accordion potato slices break. I actually broke two slices off when I was making these. They still cook and taste yummy!

For a final touch, sprinkle parmesan cheese on top. I baked these in my convection toaster oven at 375 degrees and baked for 50 minutes. (*Note: cooking time will depend on your potatoes' size. I used big potatoes and ended up cooking mine for about 60 minutes.)

Baking tip: I covered the potatoes with foil for the first 30 minutes so the cheese and sauce wouldn't burn.

Substitutions and filling ideas

The sky is the limit when you make this oven-baked sliced potato recipe! Here are some of our favorite things to add between the potato layers:

  1. Pepperoni
  2. Onion
  3. Pepper
  4. Bacon
  5. More cheese (this is my kids' idea)
  6. Sausage

Next, serve hot, and enjoy! And the verdict....my daughter had seconds on this healthy snack! Success!!!

    Sandi, this is such a fun way to change up this kind of potato. The flavors are perfect. No butter needed. You have sauce, salt and cheese all in one!
