Hallå :) HASSELBACK POTATOES - Swedish Fare : A Tribute To Our Uncle Idrose And Family :)

6 medium size potatoes

2/3 cloves garlic - pound

3 tbsb butter

a pinch of salt

freshly ground black pepper

Wash potatoes thoroughly. Trim one side of potato to a leveled surface (flat) for ease of cutting later. On a chopping board, with the trimmed flat side down, start from middle of the potato, cut almost all the way through, but being careful not to actually cut through. Well, the two forks in the picture, I've used those as stop-gap/leverage to maintain the consistencies and pattern of the slices.

Arrange the processed potatoes in a greased baking tray and insert the pounded garlic in between the slits. Brush some butter on top of each potato, then sprinkle some salt and some freshly ground black pepper. Bake potatoes at 200C for about 40-50 minutes until the potatoes turn crispy. You may serve this with sprinkles of cheese or sour cream.
