Chipotle Hasselback Potatoes

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 4 medium russet potatoes washed (I used 2 sweet potatoes and 2 russets)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil plus more for drizzling onto potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter melted
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh cracked pepper to taste
  • 1 large chipotle in adobo minced
  • 7- ounce package of pepper jack cheese already sliced for crackers I used Cabot brand, very convenient!

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a bowl, combine the oil, butter, chipotle, pepper and salt. Whisk to combine, set aside.
  • With a sharp, large knife, slice a thin layer of the potato so it lays flat on the counter. That will be the bottom of your potato. Carefully slice 1/4 inch slices across the potatoes, making sure you don’t slice all the way through to the bottom.
  • Place potatoes in baking dish. Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil and lightly season with salt and pepper. Bake in oven for 30 minutes.
  • Remove potatoes from oven and generously brush the potatoes with chipotle/butter mix. Fan out the potato a little to make sure you get some in between the slices.
  • Return to oven and continue baking for another 20-25 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender. Slice the cheese in half. Remove potatoes from oven and carefully insert cheese slices in between the slices on potatoes. Return to oven and bake just until cheese melts. Garnish with finely chopped cilantro, jalapeño and onion.
