Spiced Mini Hasselback Potatoes


Here is the mini hasselback potatoes recipe. The spices used for the potatoes were inspired from my previous post, the Dry Potatoes With Ginger and Garlic. I am using the Fingerling potato variety for this recipe. They are small, buttery, and is just the perfect compliment for my finger sandwiches. Using a clever suggestion from one of my readers, Marcus, I used a wooden spoon to facilitate cutting the potatoes to an even depth. It certainly made the cutting process easier, thanks Marcus.

(Printable Recipe)

Ingredients

1 Bag (800 g) Fingerling Potato, washed
½ tsp Ground Ginger
½ tsp Ground Turmeric
1 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1 tsp Fennel Seeds
1 tsp Sea Salt
3 Tbsp Peanut Oil



Method



Preheat the oven to 400˚F.

Place the potato on a wooden spoon, flat side down. Start from one end of the potato and cut all the way until the knife touches the spoon,
at about 3 to 4 mm intervals.

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground ginger, turmeric, cayenne pepper, fennel seeds, sea salt and oil. Toss in the potatoes and marinate for about 20 minutes.



Arrange the potatoes in a baking tray and bake in the oven for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the potatoes turn slightly crispy on the outside and the flesh is soft.

  2. That reminds me so much of my mum's cooking in the late seventies and early eighties. She used to make potatoes like this, in a big tray. They were delicious.

    I haven't eaten potatoes like this since at least 1985!

    Maybe this weekend...

  4. Why is it the simplest of ideas make us thump our foreheads and say "why didn't I think of that". First of all using the smaller potatoes the using the wooden spoon. Doh.

  11. This is my favourite way of cooking potatoes although i do it slightly differnetly.

    I cut one of the ends off and stand each of the potatoes up. I then cover liberally with olive oil, rosemary, garlic and season.

    Obviously not as healthy as this way of cooking, but still alot healthy than roasties

  15. I have not made these (yet) and not sure if the intervals of the cuts matter, but one suggestion I have read is to rinse the potatoe after the cuts are made so the slits don't "glue" together while baking (even with olive oile or butter brushed between). Is this necessary?

Dumplings

I'm actually laughing at myself! What have I got into? Trying to make dumplings?? Well, I have seen my late grandmother make them a long time ago. I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
