Hasselhoff Potatoes

Okay, so the name I've actually heard these called is Hassleback potatoes. But really, tell me that didn't immediately make you think of the Hoff. 

These were the PERFECT side dish to a roasted chicken. I'm thinking they'd be good with any meat - steak, roast, pork chops, turkey... you name it! They're really just as good as baked potatoes, but a little crispier.

You'll need potatoes, olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. As my dear friend, Ina Garten, would say, "How easy is that?"

Cut the potatoes width wise until you almost hit the bottom - then STOP. Make sure they all stay together in one big piece.

See how I didn't cut the bottom. And how it looks like the potato man is going to eat you. Nom nom nom. Really kids, you shouldn't play with your food.

Drizzle them in olive oil and roll them around in it. The Hoff was always oily, so are these potatoes - just before we bake them.

Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Pop them in a 425 degree oven for about 40 minutes until crispy.

Nom nom nom. SO good. They're perfect. Just like the Hoff. Except the Hoff isn't perfect (especially not his singing - ask me about when he sang the National Anthem at a UA football game...)
