Fat: The “fat” is what helps cook these bad boys. All you really need for this recipe is potatoes and the fat. Use vegan butter, olive oil or coconut oil here.

Harvest Snaps: You can completely amplify this dish by adding optional ingredients, like Harvest Snaps, vegan butter, and rosemary.  This crumbles crusty coating adds so much texture, character and a sense of class and fun.

How to make this hasselback potato recipe:

1. Heat the oven to 425°F with a rack in the lower-middle position.
2. Wash, scrub and pat dry potatoes. You can also peel potatoes.
3. Cut slits in potatoes, leaving the bottom intact, stopping just before you cut through so that the slices stay connected at the bottom of potato. Space the slices 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch apart.
4. Brush, or cover potatoes with half your beautiful oil or fat.
5. Give potatoes a generous dusting of salt and pepper.
6. Optional: into a food processor add 1 cup of harvest snaps, 2 sprigs of rosemary, and 1 tbsp vegan butter. Pulse till a fine crumb develops.
7. Cover potatoes with this gorgeous and fragrant crumble.
8. Bake potatoes for 30 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the oven, and add the other half of the oil or fat to the potatoes. Make sure they get an even coating, and that some of the oil drizzles down into the cracks of the potato slits.
9. Bake for another 30 minutes until potatoes are crispy and easily pierced with a sharp knife or toothpick.
10. If you use smaller or larger potatoes cook accordingly.
11. Serve immediately because these puppies taste best hot and fresh!
