There’s hidden yumminess in these potatoes! They’re packed with limes, cilantro and garlic.
You might be asking, what’s the deal with Hasselback potatoes? They’re basically like a fancy version of baked potatoes, but don’t take that much ‘extra’ work, which is great.
The awesome thing about Hasselbacks vs. baked potatoes though is that as the potatoes cook, the slices fan out slightly and get super crispy and awesome! I love that. It’s like eating fries and a baked potato at the same time!
