This name for this yummy side dish comes from the Swedish word Hasselbacken, the Stockholm restaurant where it was first served.

Crispy on the outside and tender soft on the inside, the baked potato slices are similar to thick potato chips, but the slices are still attached to the base.

 

The seasonings and fillings for hasselback potatoes are completely up to your imagination! They can be as simple as a bit of salt and pepper, or stuff fillings between the slices. Use seasonings, herbs, butter, bacon, cheese or what ever you heart desires!

We had a wonderful Christmas in Couer d' Alene! Our son and family stayed with us throughout the holidays. It was so fun to wake up and see our grandchildren come down the stairwell to see the tree and gifts that Santa had left. Their little faces lit up with delight! 

After Christmas, many friends and family came from Washington and Oregon to enjoy and have fun! On New Years Eve I hosted 20 people for a sit down dinner at our home on the Spokane river. I served approximately 10 lbs of filet that I put on a rotisserie on our patio BBQ. My son-in-law, Ross helped with this, we made a great team!! All my guests helped by bringing appetizers or sides for this delightful dinner! Here are a few pictures!

 A snowy Christmas and New Year!

 Igloo fun! Family and friends! I reserved two igloos at the CDA resort, it was so cold outside, but, we had a small heater inside and kept it tolerable to the 10 F degrees outside!
