Hasselbackspotatis (Potatoes)

Hasselbackspotatis is served as a complement to a steak or sliced meat.


8-12 oval potatoes
3 Tbs butter
1 Tbs breadcrumbs
2 Tbs dry, shredded cheese (parmesan works great)


Peel the potatoes. Place the potatoes one by one in a wooden spoon. Cut thin slices so that the knife stops while hitting the wooden spoon. This way, the potatoes are still holding together in the bottom. Place the potatoes with the side that is cut up in a oven proof casserole. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with salt. Bake in the oven for ca. 30 minutes (435 degrees F), basting with the butter now & then. Sprinkle the potatoes with bread crumbs and shredded cheese and continue to bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
