    Hasselback Potatoes

  • Next, preheat your oven to 210°C / 200°C Fan

  • Remove the sachet from the bag of McCain Baby Hasselbacks Sea Salt & Cracked Black Pepper, add the seasoning to the potatoes and shake until they’re evenly covered.

  • Place the hasselbacks onto a baking tray (around 12), then pop them into the top of the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes until they’re lovely, crisp, and golden.

  • Remove the hasselbacks from the oven and let them cool for 5-10 minutes.

  • Once cooled, stuff your hasselbacks with slices of chorizo/pepperoni and mozzarella.

  • Pour your tomato bravas sauce around the stuffed hasselbacks, top with around grated mozzarella (around 50g), before baking at 180C for 5-10 minutes - until the cheese is golden and gooey!

    We topped ours with dried parsley and served with an olive salad.
