Hasselback Potato

Ingredients:

• 1 medium size potato per person (Any potato will work)
• 2 Tablespoon fat of choice: olive oil, butter, coconut oil, lard or tallow
• seas salt & black pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
2. Wash & dry potatoes
3. Cut straight slits in the potatoes, leaving the bottom intact. Try to evenly space the slices 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch apart. 
4. Bruch the potatoes with approximately half your fat choice. (Don't worry about getting oil between the slices yet.
5. Place potatoes into a baking dish, and season with sea salt and pepper.
6. Bake the potatoes for 30 minutes, then remove the pan from oven and brush the potatoes again with fat - make sure some of the fat drips down into the space between the slices.
7. Bake another 30-40 minutes, until the potatoes are crispy on the edges and easily pierced in the middle with a knife.
