Hasselback Potatoes - Hasselback Potatoes with bacon & parmesan. Easy hasselback potatoes at its best. Sinfully delicious but quick and super easy to make.
I love hasselback potatoes. Recently, I got a new WÜSTHOF CLASSIC 7-inch Hollow Edge Chai Dao.
As you all know, I specialize in Asian cooking and I can’t do without a good Chinese cleaver in the kitchen. Literally, Chai Dao means “vegetable knife” in Chinese language…basically it is the most important knife we use in our kitchen.
To test drive my new toy, I decided to make Bacon Parmesan Hasselback Potatoes.
When making hasselback potatoes, make sure you control the cutting so you don’t cut through the potatoes! You can use a ladle to cradle the potatoes while you cut and slice the potato.
As you can see from my photos, I had a great looking and extremely delicious potato, sliced thinly, loaded with parmesan cheese in between each slit and topped with crispy bacon.
Heavenly, so much so that my son gobbled it up during dinner.

Bacon Parmesan Hasselback Potatoes
Ingredients
- 4 large yukon gold potatoes
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- 5 slices bacon, chopped in 1/4 inch (5mm) pieces
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (217°C). Wash the potatoes and pat them dry.
- Cut vertical slices into the potato, 1/8 inch (3 mm) to 1/4 inch (5 mm) wide. Make the slices deep, but don’t cut all the way through.
- Slice the butter into thin pieces, then cut them in half. Place the butter slices into the alternating slits of the potato. Season with kosher salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the potatoes on a sheet pan or in a casserole dish and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, basting with melted butter every 15 minutes. The potatoes are done when the skin is crispy and the flesh can be easily pierced with a fork.
- While the potatoes are baking, cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown and most of the fat is rendered. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and place it on a paper towel to drain.
- Top the potatoes with cheese (you can nestle some cheese into the slits) and cover them to allow the cheese to melt, or place the potatoes back in the warm oven for a few minutes. Add the bacon on top and serve warm.

Hi. Do I have to boil the potato beforehand?
No, you don’t have to. Just bake.
Do you think this would work with a sweet potatoe?
You can try but I think sweet potato is more mushy in nature and will not work as well, but perhaps you bake shorter? I will have to try it myself. :)

What is basting melted butter every 15 mins means?
Just brush the melted butter on the potato every 15 minutes.
