Baked hasselback potatoes are easy to cook and have tons of flavor from fresh rosemary and herbs! Great as a side dish and easy to meal prep and make ahead.
Its official, we have a new favorite way to bake potatoes! These Hassleback Potatoes were a huge hit – so much so that we made these 2 nights in a row. This recipe is super easy to prepare, and required very little active cooking time one these are in the oven.
We had a ton of fresh rosemary left over from our wedding, so I chopped some up and added it to the pan while the potatoes were cooking. The first time I made the baked hasselback potatoes I baked them on a sheet pan, which was pretty good. But then Brett suggested we try a cast iron pan, which was even better!
The cast iron pan makes all the difference. It allows the potato skins to brown while the insides back. This gives crispy and delicious texture to the finished potatoes! With a little added garlic lemon juice, and rosemary these potatoes have amazing flavor!
Great as a side dish, main dish (with Delicious Vegan Chili on top) or an appetizer!

- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 Lemon - Zest and Juice
- Himalayan Sea Salt and Pepper to Taste
