We LOVE hasselback potatoes for a few reasons here at Fit Foodie Finds. One, because the way you prepare it allows the flavors to seep into the entire potato, making it extremely flavorful. YUM. It also really jazzes up your tater. If you are making these for a dinner party or trying to impress someone (wink), it’s an great way to make the presentation look gawgeous. Step up even any ordinary meal with these beautiful hasselback sweet potatoes that are seriously easy to make.
Hasselback Sweet Potatoes Tips and Tricks
–Make sure you’re using a VERY sharp knife. We use this ceramic knife. Since raw sweet potatoes are much more dense than other types of potatoes, you’ll want a very sharp knife to ensure that you can carefully slice.
–Before you slice your sweet potatoes hasselback-style, flatten the bottom of your tater by cutting length-wise on one side to create a flat side for you to slice your hasselbacks.
–When you slice your sweet potatoes hasselback-style, use metal straws or chopsticks and place them on either side of your sweet potato to ensure that you don’t slice all the way through your tater. This will leave the perfect amount of tater connected on the bottom edge of your hasselback potatoes.
–When drizzling your sweet potatoes with olive oil and seasoning with spices and herbs, try and get olive oil and your spices and herbs in between each of the slices.
–Feel free to get creative with how you season your hassleback potatoes. Craving something specific or trying to match the theme of the rest of your meal? Season these bad boys however your little heart desires.

This post prompted me to look more into hasselback potatoes and I found a tip that made cutting them super easy without the risk of cutting all the way through… Put a chopstick on each side! Worked fabulously. 🙂

Looks good! My favorite way to eat sweet potatoes is the fastest way, which is to microwave one and to top it with cinnamon and walnuts.
