Say hello to your new favorite side dish! These Garlic Herb Hasselback Potatoes are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with melted butter, garlic, and fresh herbs. They're the best potatoes ever... and perfect for the holidays!
Wash and dry the potatoes. Use a sharp knife to make thin slits - about 1/8 inch apart - in the potatoes. (*Don't cut all the way through. Leave about 1/4 inch at the bottom.)
Place the potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle them with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
Bake at 400° for 45 minutes.
In a small saucepan, combine butter, 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, minced rosemary, and remaining salt and pepper. Heat until butter is completely melted and garlic is fragrant.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and slowly pour the butter mixture over them.
