Hasselback Potato

 

I topped this with bacon bits, sour cream, cheese, and a bacon fat Parmesan crisp. Excuse me as I drool from remembering how good this was.

Ingredients:

• One large baking potato
• Optional toppings: bacon bits (see The Best Bacon You'll Ever Make), sour cream, cheese, Bacon Fat Parmesan Crisp
• 2 tbsp. butter
• Salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Set oven to 400 degrees
2. Clean and scrub potato, and then pat dry
3. Cut deep in very thin increments
   
4. Cut butter very thin and slip inside of the cuts
   
5. Optional: pour bacon fat over the potato (I did. Not ashamed) 
   
6. Sprinkle with salt and pepper
7. Bake for 1 hour
8. Add cheese and bake for anoter 5 minutes
   
9. Add toppings

Enjoy!
