Hasselback Potatoes

These things have been absolutely blowing up Pinterest.  Yet every single time, without fail, I read it as "Hasselhoff Potatoes."

So I decided to see what all the fuss was about- to be honest, I'm still not 100% sure.  It was good, I suppose a fancier alternative to a baked potato.  I'd still opt for garlic mashed or roasted, but this was easy enough and would look nice if you're having company.


I couldn't just cut it and bake it.  So here's what I did:
- Thinly slice potato (not all the way though! and if it rolls a lot place it on a wooden spoon)
- Take a clove of garlic and thinly slice (or run through your magical garlic crusher/slicer)
- Place garlic slices in between every other potato slice, or however much you want
- Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper
- Bake @ 400 degrees for 30-50 min (depends on potato size)
- Sprinkle generously with parmesan cheese (could also add some melted butter here)
- Eat.  Enjoy the garlic breath that may follow.
