The magic of Hasselback roasties lies in their signature slicing technique, which creates a fan-like appearance that allows for maximum crispiness. As they roast, the fat (choose duck, goose, or sunflower oil) seeps into the layers, infusing each bite with flavor and making them irresistibly crunchy on the outside while soft and fluffy on the inside. Sprigs of fresh thyme add a fragrant touch, enhancing the overall aroma and taste, making these potatoes not just a side dish but a centerpiece on your dinner plate.
