Crispy Bacon Hasselback Potatoes

Bacon hasselback potatoes are fully loaded with cheese and bacon. They cook up perfectly and open up as they cook, so you can fill those potato slices with tons of ooey gooey cheese and crisp smoky bacon.

 

This hasselback potato recipe creates so much deliciousness, you will have to pinch yourself to make sure you are not dreaming.

The fantastic hasselback potato recipe was all the rage last year, but needless to say, I am not very trendy. Shocking, I know!

Seriously though, I am more of a classic girl, not what you might call hip. But, I am completely fine with that. The trends come and go, but classics...  We are here to stay.

So, what does this have to do with our lovely potatoes you ask?

As I was saying, I am not trendy. I kind of march to the beat of my own drummer. So Hassel-who potatoes?

Then, last month I needed the perfect side to go with my Bacon Bourbon Barbecue Chicken Kabobs; a potato that I could stuff with mounds of butter, cheese and bacon. 

Although I am very fond of the Italian Potato Skins I made last year, and yes they would be an appropriate carrying vessel, I have made a lot of potato skins.

I wanted something different.  I immediately remembered those accordion-like, bacon cheese stuffed potatoes I saw everywhere last year.

You are going to love these!  We surely do!

Bacon Hasselback Potatoes

Crispy bacon hasselback potatoes are a fully loaded version of a traditional hasselback potato, but with SO much cheesy goodness inside! This recipe is great for a light meal or side dish.

Recipe Tips and Tricks

Be very careful as you slice into the potato, because you don't want to slice all the way through to the bottom. If you do, your cheese and bacon will fall out!

A tip that works well for me is to place a wooden skewer or chopstick against the long sides of the potato.  As you cut the slices, the skewer will keep you from slicing through the bottom of the potato.

Kitchen Tools You'll Need:

• Cutting Board- 
• Wooden Skewers-

Enjoy!

Crispy Bacon Hasselback Potatoes

Bacon hasselback potatoes are the fully loaded version of a hasselback potato. This potato recipe is great for a light meal or side dish!

Prep Time: 15 Min  Cook Time: 1 Hour   Total Time: 1 Hour 15 Min

Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes, washed
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, thinly sliced
• kosher salt
• fresh ground black peppe
• olive oil
• 8 ounces Monterey Jack and Colby cheese blend (or your favorite)
• 16 ounces of thick cut bacon, cooked and crumbled

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Place a potato on a cutting board with wood skewers on each side (lengthwise).  Slice potato about 3/4 of the way through.  The skewers will keep you from cutting all the way through.  Cut to about 1/8" thickness.  Drizzle potatoes with olive oil and place a piece butter in every few slices.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake for about 1 hour.
3. The potatoes will have kind of opened up so you can stuff cheese and bacon into the slices.  Pack 2 ounces of cheese and 1/4 of your bacon into each potato.  Return to oven and cook for 5 minutes until cheese is melted.
4. Serve and enjoy!
