    Mini hasselback potatoes are a crowd-pleaser due to its visual presentation. But they also offer so much in terms or texture and taste. The thinly sliced rims of the skin are crispy while the inner layers are tender soft and seasoned with a buttery and savory rosemary balsamic sauce. It's dressed with sweet roasted garlic cloves and served in a pool of more of that rosemary balsamic sauce.

    These delicious Mini hasselback potatoes are 100% vegan, gluten-free, and made with simple whole food ingredients. It's a satisfying alternative than serving fries on the side of your healthy meal.

    This dish can also be served as a starter meal with a side of my Garlic Aioli Sauce. It tastes amazing when these crispy small slices are dipped in this aioli sauce before taking a bite.

    Ingredients for this recipe

    • Baby Dutch Yellow Potatoes - Or Yukon Golden potatoes
    • Garlic Cloves - store-bought pre-peeled
    • Butter (vegan)
    • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    • Balsamic Vinegar
    • Maple Syrup
    • Fresh Rosemary
    • Salt and Pepper
    Seasoned mini hasselback potatoes with herbs in a pool of dark liquid.

    Process to make Mini Hasselback Potatoes (Step by Step)

    1. Using a sharp pairing knife to slice along the width of the potato about every ⅛ inch; but do not cut all the way through. The smaller the slices, the crispier the potatoes.
    2. Add melted butter, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup and finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves (do not include the stem) into a mixing bowl. Whisk till all well combined.
    3. Submerge the hasselback potatoes with the rosemary balsamic sauce to make sure each slit is properly coated.
    4. Wrap all the peeled garlic cloves together with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt into an aluminum foil. (You can wrap the unpeeled garlic head with its top cut off, if you prefer. But then after baking, the garlic will need to be squeezed out of the peel and it will be mushy).
    5. Then place the potatoes and wrapped garlic on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 400° F for 30 minutes.
    6. Remove the wrapped roasted garlic and turn over the potatoes. Stick the potatoes back in the oven to bake for another 30 minutes (total of 60 minutes for potatoes).
    7. Once your potatoes are oven roasted, then place them in a medium deep dish serving tray, and pour over the rest of the rosemary balsamic sauce. Garnish with roasted garlic and fresh rosemary sprigs.

    Substitutions and Variations

    • Baby Yellow Dutch potatoes - Yukon Gold potatoes can be used interchangeably due to all their similarities in taste and texture. You can use red potatoes for this recipe, but it won't turn out as crispy.
    • Extra Virgin Olive Oil - You can substitute with an oil of your choice. Other than Olive Oil, I prefer Avocado Oil. If you prefer your hasselback roasted potatoes to be extra buttery, then you can leave the oil out and just double the quantity of the butter.
    • Butter - Any butter will work for this recipe. Since, I make only plant-based recipes, here are some other great vegan butter suggestions: Nutiva Vegan Ghee, Miyoko's Cultured Oat Milk Butter.
    • Rosemary - Thyme, chives, or oregano all pair well with potatoes. You can swap or add as your prefer.
    • Spices - Don't limit yourself in terms of flavor. If you want to had more boldness, then sprinkle your desired ground spices into the balsamic sauce: cumin, paprika, or curry powder. Make it worth it!
