Ingredients: For this gastronomic adventure, gather the following high-quality ingredients:

  • 14 medium-sized potatoes (any variety will work, consider selecting egg-sized potatoes for uniformity)
  • 3.5 tablespoons of canola oil or your preferred vegetable oil
  • 1.75 teaspoons of salt
  • 0.88 teaspoons of black pepper
  • 0.88 teaspoons of garlic powder
  • 0.88 teaspoons of onion powder
  • 1.75 teaspoons of dried oregano
  • 7 tablespoons of fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
  • 7 tablespoons of vegan butter, plus more to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven to Culinary Excellence: Begin your culinary journey by preheating the oven to 375°F, setting the stage for the transformation of ordinary potatoes into a gourmet masterpiece.
  2. Precision Slicing for Visual Appeal: Elevate the aesthetics of your potatoes by placing each one between two stirrers, creating a guide that prevents your knife from cutting all the way through. Make evenly spaced slices, allowing the potatoes to fan out beautifully while retaining their structural integrity.
  3. Aromatic Infusion: In a small bowl, artfully combine canola oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano. This aromatic infusion will coat each slice, infusing the potatoes with a harmonious blend of spices.
  4. Seasoning with Precision: Arrange the meticulously sliced potatoes on a baking tray and, with a brush, generously coat them with the oil-and-spice mixture. This step ensures that every nook and cranny is imbued with flavor, promising a taste sensation with every bite.
  5. Culinary Alchemy in the Oven: Allow the Hasselback potatoes to undergo a transformative journey in the oven for approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes. The end result? Potatoes cooked through to perfection, offering a crisp outer layer and a tender interior that melts in the mouth.
  6. Garnish with Finesse: As you unveil these culinary wonders, adorn them with a sprinkling of fresh parsley and dollops of vegan butter. This finishing touch adds a burst of freshness and richness, elevating the dish to gourmet heights.
