During our stay on the Faroe Islands, my friend Mariann prepared a homemade Faroese potato dish called Hassel bakaði eplir. She believes it is originally a Danish recipe with the name Hasselback-kartofler.
Down here in Germany we basically live on potatoes, so this dish makes a nice variation to the many other regular potato dishes we already now…
Ingredients:
* potatoes
* paprika seasoning
Instructions:
*Preheat oven to 170C°
*Peel potatoes and cut them – like a grid – but don’t cut all the way through the potato, so the potato bottom still stays together.
*Add some liquid butter or oil with a brush and season with paprika powder.
*Put in the oven for 45 min. at 170 C.°
Tip: Take only big potatoes as their unfolding weight will keep them open and this helps to bake them evenly.
They can be served with meat and gravy and they are more pleasing to the eye than regular cooked potatoes!
