Crispy Hasselback Baby Potatoes with Garlic Herb Butter

These stunning golden hasselback baby potatoes are sliced to perfection, roasted until crisp on the edges and tender inside, then tossed in a fragrant garlic herb butter. Perfect as an elegant side or a crave-worthy snack with dipping sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs baby Yukon gold potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Flaky sea salt, for garnish
  • Fresh oregano or parsley, for garnish
  • Optional Dip:
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill or mint, chopped
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and dry the baby potatoes. Place each potato between two wooden spoons or chopsticks and slice thinly, stopping before you cut all the way through.
  3. Arrange the sliced potatoes on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  4. In a bowl, combine melted butter, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and thyme.
  5. Brush the potatoes generously with the butter mixture, making sure it seeps between the slices. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Roast for 45–50 minutes, basting once halfway through, until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
  7. Meanwhile, mix all dip ingredients in a bowl and chill until serving time.
  8. Garnish the roasted potatoes with flaky sea salt and fresh herbs.
  9. Serve warm with the creamy herb dip on the side.

Notes

  • Use chopsticks or wooden spoon handles to prevent slicing through the potatoes completely.
  • Baby red potatoes can be used as an alternative to Yukon golds.
  • Baste the potatoes at least once during roasting for extra flavor and crispiness.
  • The dip can be made up to a day in advance for deeper flavor.
  • These potatoes are great for holiday sides, party platters, or cozy dinners.
