Hasselback potatoes with bacon and cheese are whole potatoes cut into thin slices without cutting all the way through, leaving gaps to tuck bacon and cheese into. Choose medium potatoes that are not too elongated. Each prepared potato is wrapped in foil and baked at a low temperature, making it a side dish for meat or a dinner on its own.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Choose potatoes that are neither too large nor too elongated, and scrub them thoroughly.
Cut each potato into thin slices without cutting all the way through, leaving gaps for the filling. Season lightly with salt, then tuck pieces of bacon and cheese alternately into the gaps.
Wrap each potato individually in aluminum foil, place in a baking dish, and put in the oven.
Bake at 140 °C (285 °F) until the potatoes are tender. The baking time depends on the size of the potatoes; test for tenderness by inserting a toothpick through the foil.

Tip: Fill only every other slit with bacon and cheese to keep the potato from breaking apart as you stuff it. Cut the pieces to roughly fit the slits so they do not stick out and the cheese does not melt into the foil.
