How to Make Hasselback Potatoes with Bacon Recipe

It’s potato season here in Wisconsin and I couldn’t resist trying a new recipe to include my favorite spuds.

So what better way than these Hasselback Potatoes with Bacon. Okay, I get it—everything is better with bacon—even smoked apple wood bacon? Yes!

This recipe, then, takes the best ideas for loaded potatoes and turns it inside out.

Not only do you get crispy potatoes that also offer a soft potatoey inside. But when you add the rest of the toppings, well, it’s like little bites that just ooze layers of flavor.

And, I didn’t even mention that this dish looks amazing when presented at the table.

So what is the secret? The bacon. Yes, I know I mentioned it before, but this is the key to the whole recipe. You see, it’s the bacon that gets oven crisped while each carefully sliced potato bakes. And, it’s this same bacon that imparts a bit of smokiness to each little spud.

To Make:

Start by thinly slicing the potatoes width-wise. The trick here is to cut it 3/4 of the way down but not completely through the potato. Then place them in a sided casserole dish.
