Hasselback potatoes stuffed with cheese, bacon and onion are a simple oven-baked dish that looks lovely on the plate. The peeled potatoes are parboiled in salted water for ten minutes, then sliced partway through to make room for pieces of cheese, bacon and red onion. On a parchment-lined baking sheet, they are sprinkled with rosemary, seasoned with salt and pepper, and drizzled with oil. They bake for at least 40 minutes at 180–200 °C (350–400 °F), so the hands-on work takes only about ten minutes.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Peel the potatoes and boil them whole in salted water for ten minutes.
Drain the potatoes and slice them partway through to create gaps for the filling. Insert the cheese, bacon and onion into the cuts, then transfer the potatoes to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Sprinkle with rosemary, season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with oil. Bake in an oven preheated to 180–200 °C (350–400 °F) for at least 40 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and golden.

Tip: Let the parboiled potatoes cool slightly before slicing, as they break easily while hot. Tuck the cheese deep into the cuts and place the bacon above it to keep the cheese from running onto the baking sheet.
