This potato was delicious. My only beef, is every time I think of the name I can’t help but think of David Hasselhoff. What is a Hasselback anyways? Could it be David Hasselhoff’s back? I’ve suddenly lost my appetite…
Watch us enjoy this on CTV Morning Live – Saskatoon!
Hasselwhatever, this is a great way to cook your potato, not to mention it looks fancy too! It takes the joy of a baked potato, and amplifies it by stuffing delicious ingredients into each slice of the potato! Placing the bacon and onion together in each slice caramelizes the onion, while roasting the whole potato in bacon fat. Oh, what a wonderful thing!
