Don't Make Dad Settle for Boring Potatoes: Hasselback Potatoes

Dad’s going to remember exactly why he loves steak and potatoes when you serve him these. And you (along with the kids, fingers crossed!) will love them, too. Because of the way they are baked, a nice crunchy crust forms on the bottom. That, along with the soft interior and dollop of sour cream and fresh herbs, and you’ll know the best reason potatoes are the most commonly eaten vegetable in our country. http://blogs.babble.com/family-kitchen/2010/06/16/hasselback-potatoes/

Crash Hot Orange Potatoes

http://www.kayotic.nl/blog/crash-hot-orange-potatoes I still remember the first time I ran into these beauties: . It was near the end of 2007 and I’d just gotten hooked on reading all these great food blogs. Yet somehow this recipe reeled me in from the very first moment I laid eyes on it , in a British food blog called: . I was fascinated. It looked so simple, innovative and different.
“Scalloped” is an attractive word, isn’t it? When I hear it I think of several things: first, there’s scallops, as in the seafood—totally delicious. Then there’s the scalloped shape that can live on the edge of a pair of shorts or on the collar of a woman’s blouse—always pretty and dainty. And of course scalloped potatoes also comes to mind, which carries my imagination to a land of crispy potato skins drenched in a sea of cheese and cream. I can think of no better place to exist, actually. http://tastykitchen.com/blog/2011/10/scalloped-hasselback-potatoes/
