Approx 2-3 years ago, I shared a recipe on the blog called Hasselback potatoes . I remember loving the idea of cutting slits through the potatoes and then roasting them. It made them look pretty on the platter. This recipe is a great replacement to roasted potatoes or even mash. The next time you plan to make some potatoes to add on to a chicken or meat dish, definitely try this :)
I had a dry mixed herb mix in my pantry that I put to use. It was a combo of herbs like basil, thyme, rosemary, parsley.... It definitely adds amazing flavour to the potatoes.
The potatoes take about an hour in the oven, so you might need to plan a bit of time, but hey! once it is done, it is sure to impress your guests...
Hope you get to make this quick and easy recipe in the near future!

Welcome to my Blog The Eaterspot. My blogging journey began in March 2010. I had just relocated from the US, and living in Wellington, New Zealand was definitely a whole lot different from the US. The day after I landed here, I began a full time job, but I still had a whole lot of free time after 5pm. I was cooking a lot of new dishes from various cuisines so the blog was born to document my cooking for my friends and family to follow what we are upto as a newly married couple and to see what we were eating! Thanks for visting my spot!
