Ingredients

• 4 medium russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon coarse salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean towel.

Step 3

Place one potato on a cutting board and set wooden chopsticks or the handles of two wooden spoons on either side of the potato. Slice the potato thinly, about 1/8-inch apart, cutting down until the knife touches the chopsticks to avoid slicing all the way through. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.

Step 4

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme to the saucepan. Stir and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Place the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the garlic-herb butter mixture generously over the potatoes, ensuring some butter gets between the slices.

Step 6

Season the potatoes with coarse salt and black pepper.

Step 7

Bake the potatoes for 45-60 minutes, brushing them with the remaining butter mixture every 15 minutes, until the potatoes are golden and crispy on the edges.

Step 8

While the potatoes are baking, prepare the herbed sour cream. In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, chopped chives, chopped parsley, and lemon juice. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 9

Once the potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.

Step 10

Serve the Hasselback potatoes warm with a dollop of herbed sour cream on top or on the side.
