Easy Hasselback Potato Bites Recipe
These hasselback potato bites are thinly sliced potatoes baked until crispy and topped with cheese, bacon, and green onions. The recipe takes about 45 minutes from start to finish and serves 6-8 people.
Ingredients
- 8 small to medium-sized potatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon bits
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Sour cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly.
- Slice the Potatoes: Place each potato between two chopsticks or wooden spoons to prevent cutting all the way through. Carefully slice the potatoes thinly, about 1/8 inch apart.
- Season and Oil: Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes, ensuring it seeps into the cuts. Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper evenly over them.
- Bake the Potatoes: Place the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and the potatoes are tender.
- Add Cheese and Toppings: Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and bacon bits over the top. Return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped green onions. Serve hot with sour cream on the side, if desired.
