hasselback fingerling potatoes

Method

Steps

1 Pre-heat oven to 180°C.
2 Place each potato on the concave head part (not the back) of a large wooden spoon. Use a sharp knife to cut 5 mm thick slices on the potato – the wooden spoon will prevent you from cutting all the way through the potato.
3 Place all the cut potatoes (in tact) inside a large roasting tray, then drizzle all over with oil and season well with salt and pepper.
4 Roast at 180°C for 25 minutes, then remove from oven and carefully baste the potatoes again with the warm oil inside the roasting tray.
5 Return to the oven for another 10 minutes, then remove from oven and transfer to a serving plate with a slotted spoon.
6 Serve hot with sour cream and chives.
*For larger potatoes, just increase the baking time accordingly.
