Parmesan and Sage Hassleback Potatoes

Crispy cheesy hasselback potatoes is always a good idea. Also an instant state of happy comes over every bite. I am so excited to show you this recipe!

OMG! This is a potato dream I had. If you are what you eat, I am a potato and pasta on the weekends LOL. My mom was big on vegetables/salad on the side, but when she made us potatoes – wow that made me smile! I remember baked potatoes with butter and parmesan with our pork chop or steak.

This is a special recipe, because it reminds me of home and childhood growing up in New Jersey. It’s fun to present at the holidays and watch people smile and stomachs groan in excitement. The Brown crispy potato flavor with the woodsy sage and salty parmesan goodness makes the meal complete.
