Hasselback Potatoes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 small baking potatoes
8 garlic cloves, sliced in thin slivers
sea salt
coarse black pepper
olive oil

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Clean the potatoes with skins on. Cut slits on top of each potato approximately 1/8 inch apart (careful not to go all the way through). [Chop sticks or wooden spoons along each side will help prevent cutting all the way through the potato.] Place on baking sheet.
Place a garlic sliver between each slit. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil.
Bake 1 hour. Baste with pan oil then bake another 30 minutes. [The potatoes will gently arch as the slits slightly fan out making for a pretty as well as tasty presentation.].
