What makes these Hasselback rosemary butter roasted potatoes so special?
Do you see the way I sliced my potatoes? That is a Hasselback potato. Those slices are what make these potatoes so good. Hasselback potatoes are thinly sliced about 3/4 of the way through. They get their name from Hasselbacken, the Stockholm restaurant where they were first served.
Leaving the bottom intact allows for the tops to get extra crispy, but the centers to be perfectly soft and creamy. They are like a potato chip on the outside, but mashed potatoes on the inside, and there is nothing better. Then, there is the butter, the rosemary, and the garlic – so good!

Rosemary Butter Roasted Potatoes
Ingredients
- 1½ kilos small Yukon gold potatoes
- 6 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, plus 3 rosemary sprigs
- 4-6 cloves garlic smashed
- kosher salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C.
- Slice the potatoes into thin slices, leaving 1/8 of an inch at the bottom, be careful not to slice all the way through the potato. I find it helpful to position 2 spoons on either side of the potato to help prevent you from cutting through the potato.
- Place in a large roasting pan, toss with butter, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper. Add the garlic and rosemary sprigs. Arrange the potatoes cut side down in the roasting pan.
- Transfer to the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes.
- Flip and spoon the butter over the potatoes, allowing it to drip down between the slices. Return to the oven and roast another 20-25 minutes, until the potatoes are golden and crisp.
- Serve warm, drizzled with the butter in the pan and sprinkled with the fried rosemary and sea salt. ENJOY!
