Roasted 'til crispy with a signature accordion appearance, Hasselback Potatoes are a favorite in our house. They're deceptively easy to make using a couple of simple tips, and they add a little flair to your side dish game.

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Wash and dry the potatoes. Slice the potatoes very thinly, almost all the way through in 1/8" intervals. Placing a chopstick on either side of the potatoes when slicing them will prevent you from slicing all the way through.
Set the sliced potatoes on a sheet pan. Drizzle each potato with olive oil, in between the slices and over the exterior of the potatoes. Sprinkle generously with kosher salt.
Roast for 40 minutes and then remove from oven. Let cool just slightly before eating.
