Slicing of Hasselback potato

Place the sliced potatoes in a buttered oven pan, brush liberally with clarified butter and season with a dash of salt and pepper. Bake at 225 °C for 30 minutes.

Take the potatoes out, brush with the butter again, sprinkle each with some grated cheese or breadcrumbs and continue baking for 15 - 20 minutes more, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender. Serve the potatoes with roasted meat dishes.
