Hasselback Potatoes

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Preheat oven to 400°. Peel potatoes, then use peeler to shave off some flesh as needed to give potatoes a smooth, rounded egg shape. Cut potatoes crosswise into thin slices, stopping ¼” before cutting all the way through.

   Step 2

   Place potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet and gently press down on them to fan slices in one direction.

   Step 3

   Brush potatoes all over with ½ cup butter. Tuck 2 sage leaves into each potato; season with salt. Roast potatoes, brushing occasionally with more butter, until fork-tender, golden brown, and crisp, 25–30 minutes.
