Guest guest Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 i love hasselback potatoes. they are fun. when you serve them to people they are so impressed. oh donna, this is how i cut them....i slice just a little off the wide side of the potato so that it sits flat, then i place the potato between two chopsticks (one on either side) and then just slice down...so easy. --- Donnalilacflower <thelilacflower wrote: > These are a true comfort food.
