Hasselback Potatoes and Salmon

This Swedish Potato dish takes its name from Hasselbacken, the Stockholm Restaurant where it was first served. The seasoned potatoes turn out crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Scrubbed some spuds and used a large spoon. Using a sharp knife, make slices across the potato the short way about 1/8 to 1/4 inch apart making sure to cut down to the lip of the spoon, not all the way through the potato. The slices should stay connected at the bottom, and the spoon helps keep the depth even. Place the potato in the bowl of water to prevent browning while you slice the other potatoes.

When the potatoes are cut, drizzle the potatoes with melted butter, then season with salt and pepper. I chose to use Annie's Roasted Garlic EVOO and Fagundes Seasoning.

Pre-heated the MAK 2 Star General Pellet Grill to 425ºF. Bake for an hour+. Test the Hasselback Potatoes for tenderness since the Salmon will only take 12 - 18 minutes. Wait until the taters are done for the most part before inserting the Salmon.

While Hassselback Potatoes are baking in the MAK, applied Kikkoman Teriyhaki Baste & Glaze with Honey and Pineapple to the Salmon Filets. Enjoyed a nice glass of Amber Ale from one of the micro-breweries I visited last week.

After an hour at 425ºF applied some butter pats to the Hasselback Potatoes and added the Salmon. You can also drizzle melted butter and sprinkle with some Romano Cheese on the taters if desired. The Salmon should be ready in 12 - 18 minutes when it easily flakes with a fork.

Looks really good. I have been making Hasselbacks for many years. In keeping with the "pork fat thing", try basting them with some good smokey bacon grease. Add another dimension to the potatoes.
