The Easiest Hasselback Potatoes with Creamy Yogurt Sauce

 – The Easiest Hasselback Potatoes with Creamy Yogurt Sauce –

These Hasselback Potatoes with Creamy Yogurt Sauce are seriously amazing. They´re super easy to make, have an incredible flavor and done in about 45 minutes. I used baby new potatoes to make these hasselback potatoes, just because they cook a lot faster and they have a great texture to them. The added creamy yogurt sauce pairs perfectly with the hasselback potatoes, taking this dish to the next level. I also sprinkled them with some Kiva sweet smoked Spanish paprika (25% off coupon ¨spicy 25¨), this added a beautiful color to the dish and just truly lifted all the flavors. Serve these hasselbacks as a tapas appetizer or a side dish.

– How to Perfectly cut Hasselback Potatoes –

The secret to cutting the perfect hasselback potatoes is to use two spatulas, place a potato inbetween them and cut vertical slices that are about 1/8-inch in thickness, The thing is to not cut all the way through, the spatulas will prevent that. You want the potatoes to have an accordian look once they are cut.
